Worse still there were two different formulations of Energiser 357/303.
Look back in archives I posted a bit of a discussion of data sheet differences
previously.
For technocrats see the details here :
http://olympus.dementia.org/Hardware/PDFs/357BatteryData.pdf
It includes all the different (and hard to get) data sheets, including the
Energiser "357/303" and
the "357/303H" which are different!
