How to know when to change battery in multimeter

Dec 09, 2022 Last reply: 3 years ago 3 Replies

On my multimeter, the voltage readings get inaccurate over time due to battery discharge. My meters all use 9 volt batteries.



How can I tell when to change out the batteries?



Thanks.


Sounds like time to change the multimeter instead!

Have you tried one of the lithium rechageable PP3 / 6F22 , they have inbuilt BMS which switches out the battery for protection when it gets to about 6V. The EBL ones do this. C+

I have a couple HP3455A Voltmeters.
