Thanks!!...
I used regular 1.5V AA battery to replace those in my Sun tach transmitter, after I had run them down in a flashlight for a bit. They worked for probably 15 years or so; I just replaced them last weekend.

Those are my batteries (and my photo) in the top pic, btw. I still have them and use them for display purposes.
