But do not forget that the discharge curve of mecury battery is quite different from the non-mercury one. The mercury battery has a much more flat discharge curve. But the non-mercury battery is not, which may cause the meter not accurate after using the battery for a while. - ----- Original Message ----- This has been an endless thread on the list, and there are folks who can give you all the details. But the bottom line is - the batteries are still available in various places, and it is an apparently easy matter for a good repair person to recalibrate the meter to use non-mercury batteries. Good luck B.D. http://www.a-day-in-our-life.com A Day In Our Life...
