I just checked the manual and your right, it specifies Mercury. However it says 1.5 volt so a Silver Oxide should work fine as long as it fits. If you'll measure the size of one I'll compare ot to an SR-44 to be sure it's the same size.
Odd. I just checked a couple of other forums, and apparently, early Spotmeter Vs use mercury batteries, later ones use silver oxide.
I suspect that the very old ones (they had the brown body) will use mercury batteries, and the later gray bodies will use silver oxide.
My very old gray one took silver oxides for sure.
