Kleinstein:
For international shipping it makes sense to not include standard batteries. They only add to the weight and there is a small risk of the batteries to cause trouble: An unintentional short in a smashed parcel may start a fire - not very likely but alkaline cells often have quite some power. The other problem is leakage  :horse: - reduced air pressure in an aircraft can accelerate this.

Another point about not having batteries is that it makes it easier to spot a possible bomb from xray pictures.

There is no real need to have standard AA batteries shipped with the DMM. These are better bought locally in most places.

Brumby:
So Dave - what are you going to do with a few kilos of alkaline batteries?

Leaking tests ...

schwaggins:
At least they didn't reject the entire package i suppose. I received batteries with mine locally though

NoisyBoy:
Saw it is back in stock, placed order for one.
