However, usually they are considerably more expensive that the original Varta batteries used to cost, and most importantly, they cannot be trusted. I recently spoke with a Rollei repair guy here in Zurich who tested some of the Chinese clones of the PX625 and found that they delivered 1.5V instead of the 1.35V that the real thing gives. I therefore will not use them in my Leicaflex and Rollei 35. When my stash of Varta 625s runs out, I will simply use the Cris adapter (so I can use alkaline batteries) or have the cameras converted, again to allow use of the alkalines.
