Hi 
I've been following this list for only a short time and a couple of weeks
ago I bought a Rollei 35 LED. I know that the battery's in are working
though some pictures seem to be a little over exposed. With all the messages
the last couple of days I decided to check and see what battery's are in
mine and it turns out to be two Varta CR-1/3N and it says that each is rated
at 3V. Now I am really confused as everyone is talking about a single 1.6 or
1.3 v...... what gives?

Thanks 
Larry
