Then, he insisted on using the only cell lithium that the repair technician had with him, which he had brought to test any M6's that were brought along without batteries. The Rep basically refused to use the 2 silver oxides offered by the store, saying he would only ever use them as a last resort... So, go figure - does the M6 work better with the lithium's? (I use them in my "regular/classic" M6beacuse they last for ever and cope with the cold better). Does the M6TTL eat regular silver oxides - as has been mentioned elsewhere on the LUG (3 sets in a week was it?) and Lithium's give a little extra life? I'm afraid I never thought to ask the reason why!

There are one button cells, and two button cells which will work. Is there any preference for using one or two button cells?
