Subject: [Leica] Alkaline vs Silver 625 replacement batteries

This is probably a dumb question; in fact, I hope it is, but I'm cautious 
about making assumptions.  I'm wondering whether anyone has had, or can 
think of, any issues in using a silver 625 cell in a camera that originally 
used a mercury 625 cell but has been recalibrated for an alkaline 625  cell. 
 This would be a change from 1.5v nominal to 1.55v nominal, which seems like 
it would be a difference so small that it would be easily lost in the noise 
(examples: didn't precisely center needle; didn't pick precisely correct 
area to meter) or at least would be well within the latitude of even color 
reversal film.  Yes/no/maybe?
Also, I'm assuming...but interested in confirmation...that there are no 
physical differences between the alkaline and silver oxide dimensions?  I 
have read of users with problems using the CRIS adapters.
Many thanks for any info
John Newell
