EEVBlog 121GW Discussion thread

--- Quote from: bicycleguy on January 29, 2022, 05:46:16 am ---The issue isn't the full capacity of NiMH which only manage to get to about 5.9V with the four in series immediately after charging. Within a few days it drops to approx 5.5 volts, then gradually drops to 5V over ~4 months of use. The meter will continue to work properly below 5V but that isn't good for the NiMH to go much below 1.25V assuming they are all even and I remember to check them.
Earlier in this thread people talk about mods or not for Li-whatever. They have the high side issue. I don't think their worth the cost or hassle.

All Ni-MH I've ever seen are rated as 1.2V.
Going below 1.25V is not a problem for them.
The normal end of life is around 1 to 1.1v.
My understanding is that going lower is also not much of a problem as long as you don't let them go below zero.

I just found this video on Youtube where someone has created a splendid addition to the tilt stand on the 121GW meter. :-/O

Pardon if it has been answered, but does anybody know what the hole in the bail was originally designed for? I see that 121GW's cousin, the Klein MM2000, also has it. Klein's website, however, doesn't mention any accessories that fit there.
I received mine last week (here in New Potatoland, USA) from Welectron in Germany, it only took a week to get here! Loving it so far, especially the internal logging.

Ran into a small issue with my unit, or rather the bag I purchased alongside it. The stitching along the lower edge of the front came apart for no apparent reason. It seems like the fabric panel that makes up the front was cut too short, and the stitching simply pulled out of the weave. I tried emailing the store support email listed on the EEVBlog contact page a month back, but never received a reply. I purchased from Welectron, is this something I'd have to reach out to them for, instead?

Yes, you'll have to talk to Welectron. I do not sell the case, nor do I provide the meters to Welectron, they order directly from Kane Test.

Much appreciated, Dave! I'll reach out to them and see what they say.
