The battery lasts for a good while even when it is only at 1 bar. The batteries are cr2032 I think. The info is in the literature and it tells you how to change them as well. You can download info from the Bayer site but you have to buy the batteries yourself. Something to do with lithium batteries through the Royal Mail. It's a great meter but the strips are expensive if you have to buy them yourself.
