I hate to admit it, but the 'cell factor' went clear over my head for one
little application I have that uses a 12V x 7mm battery that has not been
available for some years.  I can probably 'make' a better one with a stack
of small lithium cells or 'hearing aid' type alkaline cells, whichever I
can find that would fit!

Thanks for the mental 'wake up'!   :-))

     Thanks, M.
