They were designed specifically for camera use and although it's the same
as the hearing aid cell technology, they have more capacity (will last
longer than a 675). That said . . . once the cell is activated its
life-span begins . . . as with all zinc-air.
There are a number of alternatives, the one I use in an OM-1n, a Rollei 35S
and a light meter is the MR-9:

I am forever amazed at the options suggested to get something better than the
675 hearing-aid batteries at 50 cents each. I checked the link John gave for
the MR-9, thinking maybe that was the ticket. MR-9's sell for $29.95 and the
cheapest shipping is UPS Ground at $8.
Friends, $38 will buy 76 hearing-aid batteries, which will last about 4+
months each in a OM-1. My calculator says that is 25 years of battery power,
and,
you do not have to add the cost of silver cells which have a finite life of
their own.
Try em, you'll like em,
