Spotmeter V works with 3 common LR-44 or SR-44 cells. No problems with
them, as I can attest. The spotmeter is "spot on" in the whole range.
Good light!
fra
you may be using batteries it wasn't designed
for. I'm pretty sure that you can use the silver cells, or the alkalines,
once the meter has been calibrated to their voltage.

Short answer, no. It may be possible to use 1.5 volt cells in the
spotmeter without modification. You can
do that with Pentax Cameras from the SP F onward for certain, maybe
earlier models as well. Someone else
may know if the Spotmeters work that way as well. If not you can get
Wein cells a

Mine isn't working with 2 MS76's. I'll do some work on the contacts. If
that doesn't get me anywhere...I'll break out the ohm meter.
Thanks,

I have the very old brown one, and it works fine with silver oxide batteries. I
suspect that it was originally equipped with mercury batteries.

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
it yet and I'm
going from memory. 20 years ago. Ouch...my brain hurts!

I have rediscovered the joys of my Pentax SLR equipment and am new
to the list.
I have a question regarding my Spotmeter V...Are G-13 Mercury
batteries readily available?
The Spotmeter V will use 3 S76 Silver Oxide batter
I list the G-13 as a Silver Oxide battery.
If so it can be replaced with the very common SR-44
button battery.
The LR-44 is the Alkaline version and should work but
may not be as accurate over the life of the battery.

That sounds suspicious. Mine V doesn't do anything as such, the illuminator
works fairly well when in dark, and doesn't increase the reading...
Good light,
