Still, to tell the difference between a real mercury cell for your OM1 and a
counterfeit, you need a true voltmeter, not a common 'battery tester'.

What might be really useful is a home-made 'battery tester' using a
multimeter and an empirically derived resistive load to tell us if that 357
cell is close to failing in our OM-2S/OM4(T) bodies. We already know that
the body's built-in tester won't warn of of impending demise.
