Thanks for the link and info. The lady down the block is deaf, even with her hearing aid. She'll appreciate this.

I've posted here cause I remembered I read once that they can be used as mercury battery replacements for cameras.

But Al that is great, bravo! 🙂

Nikola, Janis said to thank you! Actually, she's a royal pain...LOL Since her husband died last year I take her to the doc, the drugstore, the grocery, etc. but what the hey, I've known her since about 1980. It's also kind of fun going up and down the aisles at the super market yelling at the top of my lungs at the woman next to me, to which she usually responds "Huh? What did you say?" She's also extremely camera shy, but I think I finally got some of her if my 1/4 second was good enough. She and her deaf friend are signing at one another so I don't expect the hands to be sharp.

Thanks. The 675 size replaces the smaller commonly used mercury cell.

Thanks for the heads up. In case any Canadians are interested, there is an energizer.ca site where you can get the offer. Stupidly, I didn't copy the link however.

I requested these in February. I got an email confirmation, but so far no batteries.

Has anyone received theirs yet?

Hello, if anyone wants these for free from me, I want to giveaway a pack of seven that I have, just one week old. I just bought a pack of these and then decided to return the camera. The brand is CVS generic, and I can send all 7 of them to you for free (free shipping too). I just don't want to waste them. Please PM me.

Thanks for the tip, I needed a replacement for my Yashica 124G!!
Lic4- What size are you talking about?

 

[David Hughes]

Good grief! Do you poor people in the US of A have to pay for your hearing aid batteries? Next you'll be saying you don't get the digital aids free.

Regards, David

PS Sorry folks but the papers here have been full of the half lies spread about the British health service and I just couldn't resist...

Is it really ethical to accept these for cameras?

 

[ChrisPlatt]

I recently emailed their Customer Service department. They finally sent me a two-pack.

They also work great in my Leica MR-4. The readings matches up exactly with my Gossen LunaLux and the meter in my MP.

Well, if you mean the free NHS ones, then the question doesn't arise as the things take PR41's and most of my cameras need the old mercury P675's, which cost about 50p or so.
