<p>Thanks, everyone!</p>

<p>Hi folks,<br /><br />I have a bunch of old cameras, a couple of which accept 1.5V batteries (SR44), but most of which take the old mercury 1.35V batteries.<br /><br />I don't want to use the Wein cells because of their relatively short life. I have a Cris MR-9 adapter which takes a 386 silver oxide 1.5V battery that is then regulated to 1.35V by the adapter). I'm trying to minimize the number of different types of batteries I have and carry (not for weight reasons, but just to keep things simple). Since I already have SR44 batteries, can I just use these in the Cris adapter and just move the adapter between cameras? Or will the adapter take only 386 batteries? Are SR44 and 386 batteries different?<br /><br />Thanks in advance for your advice/recommendations!</p>
