The SR76 (silver oxide) is the go. I think you may be confused with the
OM-1. The OM-1 takes a 1.35V mercury battery, and John H does a conversion
to run it from 1 silver oxide. All other OMs (well, the manual focus ones
anyway) take 2 silver oxides. So the OM-2 batteries are the same as the 4
etc.
