Btw, if the charging circuitry is the same as on the UT171B, you can charge it with your bench power supply. Hook up GND to COM Jack, +10V to the mA Jack and set the current limit somewhere above 500mA.

Yea I had too cut the back stand because I wanted it to still close flush with the case lol, Could have done better but no biggie lol. As far as the case its self all I did was make a hole big enough for the +/- wires and I sealed it with hot glue, I also mounted the battery cradle with hot glue as well so it can all be removed if needed.

The thing is with the charger though their is a problem internally, because even with a good battery it would not charge threw the ports....

You said it came with a Euro plug - does that mean it only had a 230VAC charger and you need a 110VAC in the USA? You mentioned you where in Korea which is 230VAC too.

As for looking more professional to customers with that Frankenstein meter vs a Fluke, hmm, yeah... Artisan you say? Comedian more like  :-DD  ;)

(and yes, when electricians come round to do stuff I am reassured when I see a well used Fluke in their toolkit. They look at me funny when I pass them a cuppa and bring up the subject of DMM's and Part P regs with them though  :-//)

You sound like a noob so let me explain a few things..

A. Korea is 208v(3 Phase) not 230v, and the charger does 120v and I used a prong adapter first.

B. No one is looking at the back of the DMM....  :-DMM

C. 90% of people wouldnt know the differance between a UNI-T and a Fluke even when explained to them.  ::)

D. The fact that you would need to call an electrician instead of fixing the issue yourself is a good indicator of your lack of knowledge.  :-//

E. Artisan, Yes....

I could swear all the gear I've bought from Korea works on UK mains.. ah it's 220VAC single phase in South Korea.
I can only imagine you were in the North with a feeble 208V three phase needed to power a dim bulb, a heater bar, and kettle wired to each phase between blackouts

I would imagine the people you want to look more professional to, the ones that matter that provide more contracts etc, little things like having a safe meter rated to work on equipment is a bonus.

Not at all. I diagnose faults on mains all the time. Having a landlord who has to pay an electrician and pay for the replacement parts is not my problem. If I mess with certain items then I have to pay an electrician to inspect it and issue a certificate or else I get a big fine and/or imprisonment. The landlord can sue me as well. Hence why the "Part P" regulations are a big thorn in my side. Another "New Labour" legacy in the UK.
