Does this battery pack come with the cable that connects to the flash? If not, how do I get the cable for METZ 58-1?

the picture on web page is incorrect, there is no plastic case for the battery, no cable. Battery only. I was confused also. but price reflects the battery only.
This is not a Metz 58 battery. This one works with 60 series (60CT 1 and 60 CT 4).
Battery is perfect, hold charge as it should. Great product.

I've never heard of a Metz
58-1 flash. I have bought the 5320 Metz Dryfit battery for my Metz 60CT-4 and have been since the 1980's.

The Metz 58 series does not use dryfit cell that the 45 and 60 series flashes use. I own four 60CT-4's and the battery cases were sold with the power cord, the individual battery cell was not. The 58 series use AA batteries. I don't know of any adapter that will connect this battery to a 58 series, the voltage is completely different too. The dryfit cell is sold by iteself, the casing you need to use it us usually sold with the power cord, as is the flash unit itself. You should call Adorama at 800-223-2500 to confirm this.
Good luck.

No,the battery does not come with a cable. You may try Metz directly or eBay for the cord. If Adorama does not carry the cord in the used equipment department you may try elsewhere.

No. The battery was all that was included. I would imagine the cable would be ordered separately.

In my experience, cables must be purchased seperately.
The battery cells themselves are still being produced by Metz.
I don't believe the full kit/assembly (which used-to contain new cables)
is being manufactured any longer.
If you need the cables, your best bet may be to purchase as used from
Adorama or a similar supplier.
Hope this helps.

Unfortunately the battery they shipped to me was totally dead.....and that was a bad timing surprise as it was needed for a job right then. All my other dealings with them have been just fine though.

No, the battery fits into the "Battery Box" which is a 6X8 or so shoulder strap box which has the cable connection slot and the other end of the cable plugs into the flash. I have had my flash for many years and have had to purchase maybe 4 batteries during the time. I use my Metz with a photo eye to trip and use it with a lens diffuser as a side or auxiliary light. Still a very good and very powerful flash. Good Luck

Contact Metz online or Bogen and the cable can be ordered.

NO - A cable does Not come with the battery. The battery only comes by itself and fits into the powerpack.

It looks as if the cable is not included. See if Adorama stocks the cable or look for it on ebay.

The 60 series battery is for the 60ct4 style flash and, to my knowledge, cannot be adapted to be used with a shoe mount type flash like the Metz 58-1.
The 60 series battery goes into a battery pack, and the battery pack has a special cord that connects it to the 'potato-masher' style flash. (Google "Metz 60 ct4" and you can see the type of flash the battery is used for.)
