B&H carries silver-oxide versions (PX27?) which work fine. But it's easier just to devise some sort of adapter sleeve for the Minox, then use lithium or silver "76" cells (4x) or 1/3N cells (2x). The official Minox conversion kit doesn't perform any voltage conversion-it's just an adapter sleeve and two 1/3N cells, but it's a little handier than the homebrewed alternative and worthwhile if your old battery cover has seen better days.
