Gossen sells an adapter that allows for the use of 1.5 volt button cells for
this meter and for their still-current Luna Pro S, which also is built for
the mercury batteries.

My Luna Pro, original model, uses two 625 PX mercury batteries.  I have
wondered what I should replace them with when they finally wear out.  I have
calibrated this meter for exposure before.  There are two potentiometers
inside.  I don't know if you can calibrate the meter for the newer 1.5v
alkaline batteries.  Does anybody have any experience with this on the
Gossen meters?  I have read people do this with Nikon F Photomic meters.
