You can buy litium batteries at conrad. They have axial wires and fit into allmost all hp , philips equipment. The length is half an aa cel. As the current is so low, only the leakage counts. I never understand why they charge so much for calibration. It is for equipment with a stability of 30 ppm. A good calibrator with voltage and restistance standard give you about 3 ppm. I use fluke 5700 with datron voltage an esi resistance standard. Yes the voltage was calibrated. The resistance is difficult for the reason that only a national standard lab has a better uncertenty. Use to had 2 of these standards and the difference i found was in the order of 0.1 ppm of actual value compared to each other.

They are 2/3AA, but the one needed is I believe 2/3A. I know what a AA cell is, but I must admit I've never come across an A cell, but I guess its bigger than a 2/3A. My biggest concern about buying batteries is getting counterfeits. That's why I would rather stick with a reputable supplier like Farnell, RS etc. But I can't find anything local. http://www.pmbl.co.uk/ look to be battery specialists in the UK, but I have never come across them before. I have emailed them, along with Panasonic directly. I've said to Keysight, if they will sell me the battery, I will buy it from them. I know Keysight is not going to be a cheap place to buy batteries, but given the difficulty in getting one, I would not mind buying directly from Keysight. But I am not paying nearly £300 for them to fit a battery.
