>>> Check out http://www.criscam.com/
>>> MR-9 Battery Adapters
>>> The solution for discontinued PX13 and PX625 mercury batteries
>>> * Uses the readily available Silver 76 battery
>>> * Micro-circuitry reduces voltage to meet original specifications
>>> * No requirement for additional modification is necessary
>>> * Installs into camera or meter the same as the original battery
>>> I'm in no way affiliated with them, but just ordered one for my SL.
