get an MR9 adapter. It drops into the battery box, uses a silver oxide 1.5v
battery and has the same effect.

Subject: [OM] Changing the battery-voltage on OM-1 yourself?
| Has anyone converted the OM-1 themselves to use 1,5 volt batteries
| rather than the mercury 1,35volt battery? A friend om mine said he could
| probably do it, but some instructions would be great.
|
| I can always send my camera to zuiko.com, but that solution will be much
| more expensive (shipping isn`t cheap from Norway).
