Hi everyone. I have BM869s and BM789. Both meters have not good battery life. BM869s : Power Supply: Single Alkaline 9V battery Power Consumption: 6.5mA typical; 8mA for VFD ranges Low Battery: Low Battery: Below approx. 7V BM789 Power Supply: 1.5V AAA Alkaline battery x 3 Power Consumption: 10mA typical for AC & AC+DC Voltage/Current functions; 8mA typical for other functions Low Battery: Below approx. 3.7V Do they work well with NiMH cells and not show low battery indicator? AAA Eneloop for BM789 Energizer NH22-175 or Ansmann Akku 9V 300 mah for BM869s. I also have Fluke 87V and Fluke 117. Should I stay with Energizer, Panasonic Alkaline or switch to rechargeable batteries ? |

Both meters have not good battery life. --- End quote --- So far, the best meter I have looked at for battery life was the free meters we get from HF and the Fluke 17B+. I estimate both around 1200 hours. Much better than the two meters you mention. The worse I have seen was the UNI-T UT181A. Maybe 40 hours between charges on a new battery, and the meter can't be used when it is charging which is done overnight. I have been using rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries with the BM869s. The ones I have are marked 600mAh. I've not had any problems using them. |

Have seen anyone hacked to that data port :palm: --- End quote --- Not possible because the firmware does not output and signal you can use. I requested this way back in the development of the meter, saying it would be a popular user retro-fit, and Brymen agreed. But they couldn't get it done for some reason and the feature was not implemented. |

Greetings to all. I have a question about measuring resistance with this multimeter. At first it shows a slightly lower value, after a second the final one. Is it so for everyone? Firmware 78908.In reviews, he showed the value immediately. |

Sounds like capacitance is involved? |
