The battery that I have right here in my drawer, which was given to me
by Apollo as a replacement battery for a DN3000 - I guess they're all
the same - is a Panasonic 6 volt lithium cell, with the code BR-E3 on
it.  It's also stamped with the number 944 - but from the print
quality of that number, I would guess that it might be a batch/serial
number.
