They are in black and orange tear-off bubble packs and the identification type is stated as "HD1560/1.35V" followed by the "MR9 / EPX635, etc" equivalents. They may thus be still available... or, old stock!

They have stopped production of these cells, (German Law) so buy 10 and refrigerate them if you can find them. If there is no Chinese producer, and I don't think so, that will be it. The best alternative is Zn-air.
