I believe there are still some silver oxide 357's around made by Varta in
Germany. I have seen one comment by a list member that they are OK. Amazon
appears to have some. I wonder if others have tried them. I hadn't cared too
much with the OM-2 as the batteries seem to last forever and are changed out
for a trip more on general principles. As a new 4T owner, I'll pay closer
attention.

The OM-2 was designed around the silver oxide battery, before the
ithium (CR1/3N) or alkaline (A76, LR44) batteries appeared. 357 used
o be best but (as pointed out by a list member) design was averaged out
ith the 303 battery characteristics. Sony SR44-W is your bets choice
ut authentic Sony's may be hard to find.
