Boris,
I don't recall the wording of the post you refer to, but it has been
my expierence that that the 357's (and all of the silver oxide batteries)
will fail suddenly with no warning. It is their strong point (ie near
constant output until failure) and their Achilles Heel. So always carry a
spare set or be prepared to use Mechanical 60 or in the case of OM1 Sunny
16.

I used to change my batteries every couple of years (or more) in my OM1.
After the circuit conversion, the battery lasted eight months only, but I
also had metering problems and it had to go back to the facility two more
times until it got fixed.
One thing that surprized me was the fact that the 357 died suddenly unlike
you guys said it should, do you think there still might be a problem?
