I've used lithium batteries in my ME super, and I've had no troubles
at all. Meter is still spot on, and the lights blink when the battery
is low. Seems to last a bit less time than a pair of silver oxide
batteries. but they also cost me half as much.

When I last used my ME S I noticed that, while the shutter speed indicator
lights in the viewfinder were working, they didn't match my judgement of
what the correct exposure should be. Speeds were off by a couple - three
stops at times, other times they seemed closer to accurate.
Today I ran a

low on power, in this case a lithium cell, cause [metering] problems, or might
there be another factor involved?
The ME Super is supposed to have a low battery indicator (the LED

The ME Super was designed to use Silver Oxide cells which die quite
rapidly, the discharge curve on
lithium batteries is much less abrupt. This could be the cause of your
observed behavior.

For Energizer, there are 357 EPX76 (both silver oxide). Based on the
technical data provided by Energizer, EPX76 seems to be more sutable for
cameras.

357 is classed as a watch battery.

Thanks 4 all the help hadn't used the lithium in the ME S before and
have gone back to the silver oxide. Methinks that was the most logical
cause of the problem
