Once Upon a 10 Jan 01, John Hermanson wrote me about Re: [OM] Battery 
Nomenclature something like:

John:

Here in Spain, Varta has its SR44 battery listed as "best" for an 
OM2s (you can also find this at their website, www.varta.com). I have 
not been able to found a 357 reference in the Varta catalogue. As I 
understand a SR44 is a Silver (oxide?) battery with 1.55 volts, here 
are the specs:

Varta Type Designation V13GS 
Voltage (V) 1.55 
Elektrochemical System Primary Silver 
Typical Capacity (mAh) 180 
Type No. 4176  

Could it be that SR44 is just European standard denomination of a 
357? Should I look for some other battery?

PS: Apparently here in Spain one can still get 1.35 Mercury ones, 
despite environmental unfriendliness. Varta also lists them as *best* 
for OM1s.

Cheers
