All three use the same round flat batteries that you can buy in most chemists and supermarkets. I do try to keep a supply of spare batteries, but they're a lot easier to lose than spare meters.If you're well-organised you're probably fine with just one meter and a spare battery or two. However, it can be helpful to double-check an unexpectedly high or low reading on a different meter.Kate</blockquote>
