    • With battery life that bad, I’m surprised that it does not come with a wall wart adapter add on.

    • I own a first generation 189 (purchaced new) and I was worried about the short battery life when I got it, but after 3 years I can say it isn’t that bad.
      I takes about a year to show BAT on display.
      I admit tho, I don’t use it daily…

      What really disapointed me was the (7 seg) LCD. Not all segments have the same contrast and some are so fade that I have to look at 90 degrees angle. Awfull viewing angle.

      I wonder if I got a faulty one?
