Hi
I don´t know the excact Jupiter battery, but lithium 3 V are very
common batteries today. They are about half length of an AA an a
little bit thicker. I work with film sound and in microports from
Audio Limited you´ve got 3 of these batteries in the receivers.
So on a big film setup we´re using lots of these. You can try some
film equpiment rental company or maybe a store that sells camera
ascessories.
greetings
