Any reason you can think of not to run the 121gw on disposable lithiums? Eg energizer Ultra lithiums?

Because it would be over voltage for a lot of the cycle. The meter was designed for 4x1.5V maximum not 4x1.6-7. There was some posts in one of the 121GW threads including a post from Dave saying it was a bad idea. https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/eevblog-121gw-multimeter-issues/msg1782236/#msg1782236
