Yes I meant the WeinCell MRB625 with 1.35V output. I have two samples right beside me, and the text says: - -1.35V Mercuryfree battery-replaces PX625 & PX13 - -Compatible with any camera or exposure meter specifying PX625/PX13 mercury cells - -Voltage output more stable than alkaline replacemensts - -No camera/meter adjustments needed - -Up to 10-year shelf life; WeinCell is not activated until the pull-tab is removed - -Environmentally safe (Manufactured in China for Wein products Inc, LA, marketed by The Sunders Group, Rochester, NY) (Nikon Ftn, Nikkormat F, Canon F-1, Leica M5, Olympus OM-1, Minolta SRT, Pentax Spotmatic and Gossen Luna-Pro use the same battery.)
