[QUOTE="Lodekka, post: 7707639, member: 31706"] Yes, the larger LT 1.5V 'Flag' cells tend to last a long time and are often retained, whilst the HT 45-67.5V battery is used up quicker. I always check batteries and if they have enough life in them then i don't replace just because i have it for service - no sense in wasting a battery with some life in it and costing a customer money when he doesn't need it. (Unless customer requested) Both the LT and HT batteries can be replaced with modern equivalents at much cheaper prices than some agents will charge. just the battery holders need exchanging to hold the new cells and it is fine. One tip, always remember to put the batteries in a plastic bag so that if they ever leak then the acid/electrolyte will not damage the casing. Much easier to throw away a bag than repair a meter case. [/QUOTE]
