Lithium battery in Nikkormat EL?

The EL is not power hungry in my experience, but you should always have a spare battery, and Lithium has very long shelf life so Lithium are also preferable from this perspective.
 
OK, so I found out that the company I bought the battery from used a very slow and unreliable service that often loses packages to ship the battery.

So I was thinking that 4 SR44's (357) may sub for the battery in question, if they properly fit, and reliably make contact.

Has anyone else done this?
 
I haven’t personally, but read that someone did it. If I recall correctly, he ended up taping them together because they were difficult to line up.
