Hello Everyone,
this is what the supercap from my Fluke 289 looks like.

Is this "bad" enough to send it back to Fluke?
(i live in the area of Eindhoven)

Thanks

The cap is supposed to keep time and date.  If you take the batteries out and it doesn't properly keep time and date, then you would have a valid claim for warranty service (free).  Take a look at my post 225 above again for why you might want to send it in.

I dont recall from the manual how much time it supposed to hold the time and date settings? wanna see how is my unit holding up without taking it apart

dr.diesel:
Measure the parasitic power draw.  When mine went bad it was almost 10mA, lost the time/date instantly if batteries removed.
