Hello
Are you talking original ?
I believe ,someone is making them somewhere ( I am sorry I can not remember who) modern batteries with a repro label.
I think you would better ask in the "radios" section of this forum ,the guys there will direct you to the right source.
Hope you will find one.
Best Regards

Thank you "Papa"

The last FF33 battery I have got was made by GN batteries (Denmark) with a date 0489

Type: BA-3115 N

The voltage is 1.5V

Using 3 V may burn the carbon in the orginal transmitter-capsule.

Using a 200 ohm capcule from a CB telephone may make a need of e.g. 3 volts.

Using a transistorized capsule may need even higher voltage. 6-9 V?

You can also use a D cell battery holder available at Radio Shack for about $1.25.
