Hmm... I did some search and it looks like LR44 are alkaline and silver oxide SR series should actually have 50% more juice in them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_battery_sizes#Silver_oxide_and_alkaline_cells What I'm more curious if anyone tried CR11108 in LX - those are actually lithium and replace two LR44/SR44 cells, from the same link: "A CR1/3N was also used by photographers instead of 2 LR44 batteries, in cameras such as the Nikon EM or FE2." Ordered 5-pack of those, will risk of trying them myself...
