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

Gregory
