Hi Len Zedel, I detected the same two weeks agoe when I exchanged the cells of my pack. > Resolution: 1/3AA packs can be made to fit into battery pack with some > effort but it is not as clean as I would like it to be.

But on the other hand the 1/3AA cells were the cheapest solution for me. Rob did a little mistake by naming the original old cells 1/AA. He wrote me, that he ordered new 1/AF cells which means 1/3A with solder pads. But he certified, that the original cells had in the past only 110mAh. The volume of the 110mAh 1/3A cells I used now is smaller and maybe I saved also some weight by using 1/3 AA cells. regards - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
