For me personally?  It took me < a few minutes to fix my 289, vs filing with Fluke, mailing the unit in, waiting for them to fix it, shipping back etc.

Also there is no guarantee that Fluke will replace it with better cap than this problematic one, and even though you still can make the same claim again in next few years, meanwhile you suffer from the high battery drain while the cap is rotting in those period.   :-\

My relatively new 287 with date code April 2013 already shows the early rotting sign at the cap.  >:(

But by repairing aren't you voiding the warranty?

Of the hundreds that I've deployed, never once a bad Fluke, saving weeks of RMA time is worth the risk IMO.

I bought my 289 at an auction in june (was not used), and havent even changed the batteries that came with it, it doesnt get used a lot, but at least, the batteries is not draining..
