I am repairing a Simpson model 1699 precision milliohm meter and found one of these batteries in it. There was also a standard 9 Volt Battery which leads me to believe the unit is 20-30 years old. I've searched everywhere and can't find any info on this battery and was hoping someone could advise what its characteristics were and why someone would use this versus a standard D cell in this application. Its about 1 1/4 X2 1/4 X 4 Inches and 1.5 V and bears no date code This is a great meter and I'd like to find the right battery and not need adapt a D Cell Thanks in Advance Bob
