Does it work well with rechargeable AAA batteries?
Does it come with a Cal certificate?

It should work ok with rehcargables:

No cal certificate, just like other Brymens.

Well, 3.55V/3= 1.18V. That is around 50% DoD of a NiMH, so not perfect.
I guess we buy a pack of alkaline then.

If the there is a problem with NiMh, then I wonder why only 3 cells when 4 is a more convenient quantity and would have very likely eliminated possible NiMh problems, space permitting.
Ill be finding out for myself.

Not enough depth, it uses a new design vertical holder.

joeqsmith:
The batteries are in a carrier that separates from the meter.  The three batteries are mounted side by side and the pack is perpendicular to the PCB.  The batteries themselves are located towards the very top most part of the meter.  The packs height sets the thickness of the meter.  It's well laid out, making use of every bit of space.   Using this technique while adding a fourth battery would make for a thicker or a taller meter.

Slow on the draw today...

A picture is worth 78 words...  :-DD

coromonadalix:
you miss the other 922 words    :-DD,   nice pack design, or maybe 3d print another one with the batteries rotated in it, to acomodate a longer cell ??

2N3055:
This battery compartment design seems to protect meter electronics from battery leakage if meter is stored both face down and back down... Nice..
