The PX400s are getting scarce. I used one of mine up a month ago and have been looking ever since. Even though I already had 2 (now 1) spares, I knew this may be my last chance.
I did finally find a dealer that had out the last of the 400s. At 10.00 (5.25US) a pop, I bought 4. These are the Varta batteries and they have the plastic ring. I think that the ring and a hearing aid battery may work.
