3200 mah Ni-MH would real push the envelope, think two sets of these would be why for me to go :-)
121GW battery life vs battery type.
As far as the 500 hr battery life claim is this for alkaline or NiCad and what mah rating
My camera packs up much earlier on nicad than on fresh alkaline as the static voltage is lower for NiCad's
Any 121GW test data for various battery chemistry yet?
4.2V dropout voltage, approx 5mA consumption, you can do the math with whatever chemistry.
The spec is Alkaline.
Well quick math looks like a 2400 mah AA NiCd down to 10% charge will still run the 121GW, so still in the region of 500 hr run time.

No mention of a supply date yet, so makes me wonder if not some under the covers magic being worked out
@EEVBlog Just receive a "last minute address change" notification from KS. Are the US units about to be shipped?
Welectron for the EU
@EEVBlog Just receive a "last minute address change" notification from KS. Are the US units about to be shipped?
Yes, we had to lock down the address changes and KS makes us wait 48hours. We actually have like 150 or something last minutes changes!
1000 units will be available end of April (as in available to ship to the various distributors, Welectron for the EU, here for Oz/NZ/others, EUi/KaneTest for the US)
and another 1000 units end of May
(so I guess their production capacity is 1000 units a month)
As before, the remainder of the Great Scott backers will be shipped first. But given that there will be a lot of leftover units from the first 1000 unit batch, many Johnny B. Goode backers will get theirs at the same time.

Would some kind of inductive powering (like Qi charging) feasible in a safe way in a meter, if the receiving antenna is e.g. well inside the body of the instrument, like the battery compartment?

A bit confused here - are the US Great Scott units being shipped from the fixed units from before or are they coming from this new batch being shipped at the end of April? Basically just wondering what happened to the original great scott units that made it through customs into the US before they got redirected to KaneTest.
Is it a fair teat to connect several meters together in ohms mode and drawing conclusions from how they behave? Several meters trying to push sequences of various currents and interpreting the resulting voltage. Chaos. Might work ok with shorted probes, but still...
...
I think I need to join the therapy thread.
..
Does your wife know? Looking forward to seeing the high resolution pictures of the two meters.

That was my initial reaction when I first saw that sort of setup - but I think the answer is that it can only work with shorted probes.
Then the reply was silence....

I thought the same.
I worried first of damaging the multimeters by current flowing from other multimeters when connecting together.
My brain still only has analog meter age and it might stress the battery inside.
( Then I thought if digital multimeter was so fragile, it would not survive joe's robustness test. )

My wife fount it out..... She saw my video.....
So I told her that you are globally famous which is a good thing
Then the reply was silence....
I do not feel I could buy any more multimeter in my life
Ok, so it’s a technicality but this idea might work?
You don’t BUY anymore, just do what some other youtubers do.
Contact bangood and they will send you meters. Then your not buying any of them.

I am not sure it is in the video, I printed out the spec pages of all multimeters (I had them on right side of the desk) and on manual of DT4282 had the current for every ohm range used, and TY720 had the maximum current could be used for every ohm range. All of the currents were different.

And the shorting the probe all the current from all meters of all ranges could be the same behavior even for the individually shorting the probe.
End up connecting all multmeters together. I am too lazy to make some jig for taking video.
