Battery conversion

A while ago you reported the availability of an insert for a camera battery compartment to convert it from using a 675 mercury battery to an LR44. Where can I get one?

The device you are after is the MR-44 adapter, which is the same size as a mercury oxide PX675 battery, but uses a silver oxide 392 cell. Using electronics built into the adapter, it outputs 1.35V like the original PX675 battery. These cost £27.50 and are available from the Small Battery Company. Call 0208 871 3730 or visit www.smallbattery.company.org.uk.
