| Best batteries for Fluke 189, 287 and 289 |
| (1/6) > >> |

I have the 189, 287 and 289 and they all take AA batteries. As you know alkalines leak so which is better to use in these meter NiMH or Li-Ion AA rechargeables? The Li-Ion has somewhat less capacity but has a rather constant 1.5V throughout the discharge cycle but is this of any advantage to a DMM? Also I am not sure if Li-Ion would have a lower or higher self discharge rate compared to good NiMH like the Eneloop? |

lol the 289 chew through batteries I think NiMH is the way to go but the low battery alarm trips out because the cell voltage is low. i would be pissed if I had to keep paying for lithium to run that thing. |

for 187 189, try to find the rare BP-189 battery pack with 4x "C" cells you could put some rechargeable cells etc .... |

I use for the 187 four Eneloops AA NiMh the last ten years. Only have to charge them once a year but I don't use it that often. Still the same batteries. |
| BeBuLamar:
My question is whether the Li-Ion AA rechargeable like these https://www.eblofficial.com/collections/li-ion-battery/products/aa-li-ion-rechargeable-batteries are better or worse than the Eneloop? I don't mean the disposable lithium. |
