Fluke 289 internal battery replacement ?
tonycstech:
My fluke keeps telling me to set the time and date every day because i turn it off form the mains and its powered by DC brick instead of batteries.
So my guess internal battery is low. It read 1v or less.
I think it should be 3v but i dont know for sure. My assumption is based on voltage measurement when meter is ON.
OS there a replacement i can buy somewhere ?
part number ?
Its sport welded so i guess it will be sold with the tabs already spot welded or not ? I cant really solder that battery the way it is because it will overheat and get damaged.
coromonadalix:
this is not a battery, its a super capacitor, if its not rusted dont touch it
it serves as time memory / clock for logging purposes
if you dont put any cells in your battery pack, at one time for sure it will ask to set things, since this capacitor will discharge over time

The whole reason why i have a multi meter is to touch things i am not supposed to.
So i followed your advice and put a small rechargeable battery in there. Ill let you know if it blows up :palm:
