And i use the Wein which seems to work. http://www.acecam.com/magazine/battery2.html "At this time it is not illegal to import mercury batteries for personal use into the United States. (It is illegal to sell them in the US.) Congress will undoubtedly close this loophole if it becomes apparent that large numbers of mercury batteries continue to end up in landfills. Protect the environment by saving all batteries for hazardous waste disposal available in many urban areas, and don't be too shocked to read about someone being arrested at some airport because they had a suitcase full of batteries." VINCENT Yeah, it breaks down like this: it's legal to buy it, it's legal to own it and, if you're the proprietor of a Mercury cells bar, it's legal to sell it. It's legal to carry it, which doesn't really matter 'cause ń get a load of this is if the cops stop you, it's illegal for this to search you.
