a few days ago it was discussed which batteries work best w/ the OM-4Ti
(the LR44 i believe?) in terms of availability at watch repair shops
(being cheaper than camera shops) and something about their chemical make-up?
sorry I haven't found it in the digest yet, but I hope this isn't too much
trouble.
*NOT* the LR44! It's an *alkaline* version, which has too high a
resistance and the wrong discharge curve. Your 4Ti will start
malfunctioning within a short period of time (for me, with an OM-4, the
period in question was a matter of days). SR44, SR44W (the "watch battery"
version, which has a very desirable discharge curve in the low microamp
range), 357, etc. Regardless of the versioning number, it should be
*silver oxide* chemistry, not alkaline, not zinc.
