I've been meaning to write about mysilver cell search results, and now
is a good time.  I used to buy S76E cells packaged by Eveready as
HearWell earing aid cells in a 6-cell rotary dispenser.  I got these at
Albertson's Supermarket for about $6.  They lasted fine in my OM-2s and
OM-4Ts.  Albertson's no longer carries them, and I haven't found them on
the hearing aid battery displays at any of the local retailers I
checked. All zinc-air cells now, it seems. I called around to the
hearing aid shops, and finally found a package of 5 Rayovac cells marked
357/A76/SR44/LR44 and "Premium Silver Cell."  $8.00.  Then I asked my
telemetry engineer, who wears a hearing aid where to find the best
prices and selection.  Instead of to a hearing aid source, he pulled out
an Allied Electronics catalog.  They carry several brands at $1.18 to
$1.38.  There is an Allied shop in Ft. Worth with a walk-up counter so I
can get these at quite a good price.  Allied has offices in major US
cities and other electronic suppliers may also carry them.

YMMV
