[QUOTE="Sparks1224, post: 2370961, member: 526113"] Hello, I have had the same problem with my meter of nine months where the batteries started to run flat. First time was after approx six month. Emailed the manufacturer for recommended battery which turned out to be Panasonic .I had tried "top" brands with good use by dates so I tried these to only have the same problem. Emailed manu again and have been sent a replacement meter. The meter is a different model though and as such has not been used. My intention was to get the download lead and software to transfer the data to computer and I have been told the lead etc is compatible for both so will sort. In the mean time I have found that removing the batteries and tray between tests sorts the problem. Sometimes I have forgotten and get the flat battery code or no readout. I remove the batteries and hold them in the palm of my hands and bingo sorted. This usually sorts things until they get left in again. The current batteries have been used for three or four weeks and have been through the palaver (as I call it) a number of times. I must warn DO NOT heat them with any heat sources as with all batteries they can explode. [/QUOTE]
