I just referenced the battery spec from my orig owners manual. I haven't given it a good looking over, or the meter for that matter, but I seem to recall...The G-13's operate the meter and the 9V is there for the finder illumination function. Like I say...I haven't played with it yet and I'm going from memory. 20 years ago. Ouch...my brain hurts!

I list the G-13 as a Silver Oxide battery.
If so it can be replaced with the very common SR-44
button battery.
The LR-44 is the Alkaline version and should work but
may not be as accurate over the life of the battery.
