I bought a working MR-4 and previous owner had a Vinnic L1560 battery in it. It is shaped just like the Wein replacement, says "HG Free" and is rated at 1.5V.
Online research revealed it is a 1.5V replacement for PX625...
Seller claims the meter has always been spot on for him and I compared it with my other MR-4 powered by Wein zinc-air
Both have similar readings.
For those who have used Vinnic L1560 battery, what has your experience been?

The px625 and px13 were 1.3v. The alkaline version of the 625 is 1.5v which does cause the meter to give inaccurate readings. I have 3 of the MR or MR4 meters. Two were recalibrate and converted by Quality Light Metric and were calibrated and modified to use an alkaline 625. The third one read correctly using a MR9 adapter and 1.5v better. The exact battery slips my mind at the moment.
It's possible your meter is out of calibration just enough to read properly with a 1.5v cell. If it's a 1.5v cell and the meter is adjusted to original spec it will not read correctly.
It's possible your meter has been modified and in that case it'll read properly.
