I lost the battery out of my aquarium thermometer and don't know which one it is supposed to take. It is not printed on the outside and nobody carries this thermometer any more. Does anybody have this model that can tell me what battery they have in it?

I went to Radio Shack and a 357 1.5v fits but the temperature is off. I pulled the cover and it has 3.0V printed on the circuit board but the girl at Radio Shack claims no battery that size is 3.0 volts...so possible the thing is just broke but thought I would see if anybody else has it.

Thanks!

Could it have (2) 1.5v batteries in it?

Maybe, but the contacts appear to be for one battery only.
