A year or so ago, I found some mercury cells on the web and bought a
handful of them. Forget the URL, unfortunately. I have also used the
1.5 volt alkalines and observed no difference.

Hello,
what kind of battery does the Spotmatic F require?

Accoirding to my reference, the Spotmatic F requires an EPX625 or EPX13.
These are mercury batteries. Funny, I don't recall that my years ago
SP-F used these. Is my reference sheet right?
Best,

Hi Lewis,
This has been thoroughly covered many times before on this list, but
since I don't know what "reference" you are using, in looking at my
Spotmatic F factory-issued owner's manual, it says, on page 10, titled
"Mercury Batteries" -- "For replacement, use Mallory PX-625 or Everady
[sic] E-625N or equivalent."
While I cannot speak about any EPX batteries, from lack of personal
experience, the various alkaline batteries recommended earlier in this
thread are certainly okay for replacement use in the Spotty F.
