Bought my 645XL without battery holder, replaced with a standard Maplins battery holder, works fine without modification: Maplin Part AAx4 57x30x27 PP3 clip HF29G.

Looks like it has two pin connector for starting / stopping a tape recorder... (can anybody else confirm this?)

Comments by User:Paul814: The 2 pin socket is intended to accept the Bolex battery chargers for 110-250V AC or 12V DC and and charge rechargeable AA batteries when fitted.

This is a handy compact silent camera made by Chinon for Bolex with a faster than usual F1.1 zoom lens. It has no macro so requires a supplementary lens for closeup work since the minimum focussing distance is 2 metres. Unusually for a simple late 70s super 8 camera it registers the Ektachrome 64T notch correctly.
