This popular small coin type cell is commonly used in cameras, keyless access devices and the Braun Hair Styler.

It has a distinctive appearance with its 'stepped' concentric disks. 

Confusingly, not only are the same dimensions of battery are used for Silver Oxide and Mercury Cells, but often the same names are used as well! Even though the chemistry and the voltages produced are different. It is wise to take care examining the expired battery or, better still, checking with the manufacturers documentation to check that an Alkaline battery of 1.5V is required.

If you find you require a 1.35V mercury cell, you are in difficulty. Mercury cells are no longer manufactured because of their toxicity and environmental unfriendliness.

The LR9 is the least expensive PX625 replacement. They fit perfectly but, as with all alkaline cells the voltage is not stable, it drifts down from 1.5V towards 1.35V (the voltage of the original Mercury cell) and then lower still. If you use the cell in a camera that needs a steady reference voltage, as the voltage is not steady throughout the useful life of the cells,  you might need to constantly adjust how you compensate.
