Or, of course, I could bodge my universal power supply
into powering the
multimeter...... (don't dare suggest buying a battery! ;))
This reminds me of a question I've been meaning to ask the list.
I've got some old gear that take single D- or C-sized carbon-zinc
cells, usually as some sort of minimal-current supply. For example,
my VTVM uses one for its resistance function. (Sometimes a high-
impedance meter with a real needle is hard to beat).
I don't keep cells in this old stuff because I use it only
occasionally.
Is there such a thing as a long-life leakproof battery that I can
use? Silver-zinc perhaps?
Thanks,
Chuck
