I had forgotten that I had the Spotmatics converted to silver batteries, ( I'm told that I'm loosing my mind.... but I don't seem to miss it!) and have the Chinese PX625 mercury batteries in my LeicaFlex SL and in my Rolleiflex SL35. They are still working. I bought them at Sanford Camera Repair in Arlington, MA 2 years ago. The PX625 type were the only mercury batteries available... don't know if they still carry them. At the time they told me that they didn't know why, but that these PX625s were the only mercury batteries legally available to sell in the US. You might want to monitor ebay for Varta batteries. They show up once in awhile, I keep a few bought via ebay in the fridge for future use.
