Wein Cells...low price?

[phototone]

The Wein Zinc/Air Cells that many of us use to replace the old mercury batteries, are rather expensive at many vendors. The cheapest I have found is Unique Photo, which has a web page, but I order by phone, as I have an account for my business, and they sent me 12 for $4.00 ea. PX625 replacement. I think the price for one from them is
$4.99.

I have seen some online sources quote these for over $8 each, and generally I have found these to be at or about $7.00 at local camera store.

I have one sitting on the desk in front of me - $3.95 at my local camera store. 😎

My local camera store sells a Wein cell for $11.00, while a local Co-op sells them for $7.00. Consequently, I've been buying non- Wein PX625's off the webb for two for $9.00 shipped.

I use the zinc-air hearing aid batteries.

8 of'em for 6 bucks.

Why would anyone use a Wein?
