I think the problem comes about when the batteries currently available for these cameras are lithium, whereas originally some other type, like mercury or silver oxide was specified? I would try alkaline to see how it works. Some people recently have reported that their cameras work ok with 1.5v alkaline used in place of the original 1.35v mercury. I am using the 1.4v alkaline 675 hearing aid cells in a Nikon cine camera that should use 1.35v mercury. I had expected them to last only 2 weeks, but they have been active since May, powering the meter and auto exposure. They are also very cheap.
