I went to Energizer's website to see what batteries they recommend for
cameras. First I was (pleasantly) surprised to find that have all the OM
cameras in their list! ...
---------------------------
You will be well advised to ignore the manufacturer's recommendations
and listen to your fellow list members. Energizer's website lists
compatible batteries from a size and nominal voltage standpoint. The
non silver oxide batteries listed (alkaline and lithium) will operate
the camera... but not for long. They will work but you will give
Energizer lots of money in replacement batteries as the substitutes
quickly drop below the minimum voltage required to operate the OM-4 (and
OM-2s).
Note to John Lind: The OM-2s should be listed along with the OM-4
(instead of OM-2, 2n) as needing silver oxide. My OM-2s will kill a
pair of alkaline batteries in 6-8 weeks just sitting on the shelf.
Silver oxides last 6-9 months even with usage.
Silver oxide simply maintains a near constant voltage level for a very
long time and should be used in all OM's except unconverted OM-1's.
