"Do you know of a replacement for the PX825 battery? I have a Kodak Instamatic Reflex camera that used them."

No one makes a PX-825 anymore, anywhere. It was a 1.35v mercury battery. Normally, these were used in pairs to provide voltage to operate the flash bulb or flash cube. In some cases, they also powered the exposure mechanisim.

To replace two batteries, use a 3.0v Lithium coin cell of about the same diameter. My recommendation: use ONE CR2032 lithium and a couple of nickels or washers as spacers to replace the two 825's.

The 825's were used to power the flash, and two of them together provided 3.0v. The CR2032 lithium coin cell is about the same diameter as the 825, and one cell is 3.0v with about the same power as two of the old 825's had. The nickels just fill the empty space so the contacts connect.

For cameras using a single PX-825 to power the metering circuit, use a 1.5v Silver 625 (see:http://www.photobattery.com/#s625) and shim it to fit.

I do not know if using a 1.5v or 3.0v battery in a camera metering circuit will cause exposure error, but my choice would be to try that battery and shoot some test footage.
