: Slightly off topic, but I'm running out of ideas of where to check on
: this...

Google produced this, on a search for "BA1312"

LAcking a direct replacement, you could also look at
http://www.batteryspecialist.com/Merchant2/xref.html
for alternatives.

: I purchased a new, in the box multimeter some three or fours years back and
: have tried off and on to find the proper batteries for it with no luck.  It
: is a AN/USM - 223.  I've used to many time for voltage measurements, as it
: needs no batteries for that, but does for the ohmmeter section.  I thought
: by chance someone else on the list might have one and know of a source for
: these batteries.  It requires two type BA1312 which look about the size of a
: AA, and one BA2042 or BA42, which is nearly the size of a "C" cell.  The guy
: that sold these meters had hundreds of them in the sealed box which he
: intended to sell at many hamfests.
