I have an old flashlight with Lithium cell purchased in the mid 1980's. The flashlight is a Tekna Micro-Lith, single cell, incand bulb, gray plastic with O-ring and used a reflector and a sort of optic on the bezel.

The battery in question is only labeled 3 volts, Lithium Power Cell, Tekna. It is about 60mm long including the 'bump' on top and is about 11mm in diameter, making it taller and thinner than a AA. It is black with red markings. I never used the light and carried it in a survival pack for many years. The light still works, and the battery today shows 3.25 volts.

That thing is 20 years old and still fires that light up! I would guess the run time would be fairly short for a cell that old.

Anyone have that light and or battery?

Thanks, redcar
 
Looks like the cell on that page has a line in the middle of it. That triggered a distant memory of a salesperson saying the lithium could be replaced by two something elses. I just tried it and two N cells are a perfect replacement.
