Fluke 189 with leaking surface mount supercap (also Fluke 287, Fluke 289)
Marvin:
Here you go. I bought the cable too and changed the owner name if you are wondering if it came like that - nope.
BravoV:
Marvin, thanks for the photos, looks legit to me, and its also has the latest firmware too. :-+
Pretty sure its also came with the Fluke's factory calibration paper that has the exact date printed as in your meter info, right ? Example from my 287 -> HERE.
Well, at least you still have quite some time before the cap start to poo :P since its quite new, congratulation, enjoy that good DMM.
PS : Suggesting NOT to use alkaline cells as it will leak as it happened to mine >:(, good NiMH cells work just fine like Eneloop.
Marvin:
Yes, just like that. Only added LoZ and LoOhm measurements. Date/serial matches.
casinada:
Interesting that yours shows 96% memory like other people reported. Mine shows 100% but I think I have the supercap problem since it loses the date and time each time I change batteries. It also drains batteries fast until it shows only two bars and then stays there (have eneloops now). I don't know if a problem supercap increases current drain :(

Yes, a shorted cap will contribute to battery drain. Mine would be completely dead in about a week without use on Alkaline batts.
