I wouldn't spend the money on Wein cells for anything... it's a $1 battery stuck in a $7 metal O-ring. As for stacking them, I've never seen any that fit together so air-tight that it would starve those tiny holes, it doesn't take a huge airflow to feed them. Life will vary with conditions... the power capacity of the battery is actually much higher than a mercury or silver cell of the same size, but the clock starts running when you remove the seal. I typically get 6-8 months out of a cell in an OM1, but I've had anywhere from 3 months to over 24 months out of them. In different climates it can vary even more. Still, with a worst case of 4 battery changes a year it's not the most crushing inconvenience I've ever faced, especially in comparison to my digitals...... |
