There used to be a very detailed link, but it's gone away. There is
lot's of discussion in the list archives, of course. The quick summary is:
1. If getting a body CLAed by John H., he will install a diode in the
body and a spacer in the battery compartment. You can then use any 357
size silver oxide battery. Battery life with this and #2 is very long.
2. Buy an MR9 adapter, most appropriately from John.

3. Use 675 size zinc-air cells as made for hearing aids. More a good
emergency solution than a long term one. the batteries start aging as
soon as the seal is removed and don't last long whether in use or not.
