As soon as you start using the 625A, the voltage starts to fall and that
will affect accuracy directly. So, IF the camera was repaired and the 3
stop error adjusted out, the meter will be accurate with a new battery for
a short time, then you will start overexposing. You may not notice it with
negative film, but your slides will slowly get lighter (overexposed).
