My wife just keeps going, I don't know where she gets the stamina from as I'm the one who carries the shopping...

Using 1553 and it's the same. Once batts drop to 8.7v meter is unusable

Tesco recently did a buy a pack of 8 and get extra 2 packs free, once they have gone I shall go onto Lithium to try.
My Fluke 1652B gets a bit funny when the voltage drops to 7.7v.

Yep my 1553 was going in for calibration and the votage was 9v so popped into Tesco and got buy 4 Duracell Ultra for £4.75p and get 4 free on Thursday and when they were selling their energy saving lamps for 10p each a got a pile of them for the motor and garage and I must have got 200 over a period of time now I have about 60 left as I charge the letting agen £4 per lamp .

I only replace them on my Fluke 1652 when it cries for new batteries (when the battery symbol stays on once turned on). Duracell takes it a long way for me!
