Fluke 233 battery life
« on: March 11, 2021, 02:59:42 pm »
Hi, I'm looking at getting a Fluke 233 and reading conflicting reviews as to whether they have fixed the quiescent battery drain issue.
Has anyone got one of the newer models they can confirm no longer has the issue?
Thanks

In case anyone else is looking for this, I contacted a seller who has told me that Fluke did the hardware / software mod in 2013.
Although I have found a few reviews still complaining about short battery life that were posted after 2017 so not sure if they were complaining about new gear or an old unit they bought.
 I pulled the pin and bought one as the dedicated display seems more convenient than the Keysight bluetooth app/dongle that always seems to get interrupted by a phone call just as I'm getting the reading I want.
 Cheers .
