Sekonic Meter replacement batteries

This is a listing of the types of batteries used in Sekonic meters. Mercury batteries are no longer made. There are Wein or "hearing aid" batteries. They use "air" to activate them. So some people suggest only opening one or two holes as the meter use very little power. BUT, you may need to put an "air hole" in the battery cover to allow air to circulate.
There are new adapters that hold standard 1.5V batteries and drop the voltage to the correct level. The adapters last forever, you just replace the inexpensive battery. Some of the adapters are just "spacers" that correctly fit the old batteries but use current smaller batteries with the same voltage.
