How do silver oxide cells compare to mercury cells for voltage
stability? When I last looked into this, I concluded that there were
two different silver oxide chemistries with a slight variation in
voltage between them.

Hi Chris:
I think it was my Heathkit VTVM that said to get a fresh AA battery and use it as a 1.52 Volt standard to calibrate the
meter. An even better way was to use a Mercury coin cell since they were 1.35 volts and very stable. They were used for
light meters and voltage references because
In preparation of (hopefully!) Getting that fluke 332A running and sticker
shock of what the 732A and similar references go for, I wonder about normal,
every day alkaline or lithium batteries and their short term stability.
Here's the half baked idea. A fresh, standard 1.5V, or 3V lithium,
