The same way it's read out on power-up...

My guess would be with something like this.
As for my earlier concerns about "wasting" $10; since everybody is rushing to "correct that pricing error", I feel much more sanguine about the whole deal. :phew:
I agree with MacMeter... having a meter you don't give a damn about can be a useful thing; it's part of how I still have the same 1st gen 87 almost 30 years later.
I made sure every time I had me a "Here, hold my beer and watch this... :-/O :-BROKE " moment, I was using a cheapie meter as a sacrificial element, not my Fluke. :-DD
Cheers,

I tend to feel the same way, but am well aware of how silly that is. You have a meter that's built to withstand serious abuse and you protect and baby it. Instead, you use another meter that's much more likely to die in the line of fire and to do so in a spectaculair and possibly dangerous fashion.

i dont think the meter works properly at 2.4v

I'm also using Eneloops in mine. Works astonishingly well. If you put load on Alkalines they'll also drop below 1.2V rather quickly even with plenty of charge in them. I think it is considered good design being able to work with a cell voltage of 1.2V and quite a bit below to make use of the as much charge as possible. Also nowadays voltage regulation is cheap and quite good so there's little reason not to use the capacity properly.

Damn. I was hoping to find a use for Batteroo.
stj:
but isnt 2.4v the threshold for low battery warning & shutdown?
