A watch I have used a 1.35v mercury battery. Now only 1.5v silver oxide
batteries are available. What can I use ( a diode maybe?) in this
confined space (11mm diameter x 4mm deep) to reduce the voltage to 1.35v?
Any suggestions appreciated

You might just try using 1.5v otherwise experiment with resistor values in
series

A 1N34,1N60 diode if you can fit it in will drop around 0.27 volt
Hope it helps
Why dont you just get a rechargeable battery? - They are usually 1.2-1.3VThanks for the info. The watch runs fast with 1.5v and the mechanism
may be harmed. I was hoping to use a sub-miniature diode whose foward
voltage drop would put the voltage in my range. Anyone know the number
of such a diode?
