Best Silver Oxide Watch Batteries

Nikon specified either an Alkaline or Silver Oxide battery for my original model Nikkormat EL. I tried both and both work perfectly. So this is a good option for you in one of these older cameras. I can't say about all cameras, but my Nikkormat's meter works just as well with this silver oxide battery as it does with the alkaline. Supposedly, sliver oxide batteries work better at colder temperatures. So give it a try!

Whereas the voltage output of alkaline batteries has been shown to decrease over use and time, silver oxide batteries have a much more constant voltage output over the life of the battery. For this reason I prefer to use silver oxide batteries whenever possible. I chose the Exell S28PX battery to use in my Pentax digital spotmeter, which I've used periodically from time to time over the past two years, including in cold winter weather, and I've been very satisfied with its performance.

My old cameras seem happier with silver oxide than with alkaline batteries. The silver oxide ones keep their voltage stable longer, and they have less of a tendency to leak than alkaline batteries. They are harder to find these days, so I'm glad that B&H still stocks them.

I chose to buy a silver oxide battery to use in my Pentax digital spotmeter because silver oxide batteries are supposed to maintain a constant voltage output throughout their life and thus provide consistent performance, whereas the voltage output of alkaline batteries declines over time and thus affects their performance. The Excel S28PX battery that I bought seems to be performing well after about 2 years of occasional use; I'm happy with it.

Even though these batteries are 1.5V and the original mercury-oxide batteries were 1.4V, I really detect no difference the the meter output, and given the latitude of film, would make no practical difference. They work great!

Best optics. The color will silver or black lens.

Best batteries for flash.

Best BP batteries for Komodo hands down.

Best beauty dish I have used thus far. The size is perfect and the contrast the silver brings out in the photo is amazing!

Just received for my new x100f. Sealed factory fresh. Perfect silver match. Best Fuji quality. Usual great B & H service.
