This is a random and doesn't necessarily require immediate attention, but after reading memory's post I'm curious how long a battery should last in a multimeter? I bought one from Isaac in December (actually my gf did. Best stocking stuffer ever. She's a keeper)
Hongda DT95B Pocket DMM Volt Meter
I have no reason to suspect the battery is going out, but the packaging said nothing about replacing a battery and it looks like I'd have to pull it apart to replace it which worries me slightly. Any idea what battery is in there? How long it should last with almost daily use of about 5 min?

BTW anyone who doesn't have a multimeter should get one and their very reasonably priced on Isaac's site. I was looking at Fry's and Home Depot and they were closer to $50-100. The little guy seems to be very accurate and does everything I (a novice vaper) need it to do. It's also very enlightening wrt one's vaping experience. You can start breaking down wattage with this:

And dial in your sweet spot instead of playing the guessing game. Thanks for the help

PS New users: don't get hung up on where the red goes and where the black goes wrt testing ohms and RCR's. You can use them interchangeably. I've done black node on positive and red on negative by accident and have still received an accurate reading. YMMV

Isaac is the best one to answer this specific question Ryan. OTOH the more you use it, less time the battery will last. When mine is sitting on the bench (doing mods) it is on at all times. I have replaced my 9 V since acquiring it sometime in May '10.

Pyloric-There are 2 screws in the back you have to remove. Pull open gently, the black and red wires are very short! You will see the battery at the bottom of the case.

Thanks guys. I'll check that out this afternoon. Have a great weekend.

Good glad someone asked that my Multimeter died also. The screws are so tiny, does any one know what size screw driver are you using to open it?

 

[HzG8rGrl]

I wish I knew the size for you. It is the same size as the largest one in an eyeglass kit. I couldn't use that one though cause I could not get a grip on it. The one I ended up using is one that has a see through plastic handle and will clip to a pocket-UGH. I know, that was no help at all. Sorry.

Edit-Could be a 000 or a 1. I have to go out today and will see if I can get someone to tell me what size this dang thing is.

 

[Pyloric Thinker]

I got mine from a fry's electronics store. Not sure what size. Originally used it to pull my laptop apart. I opened mine up just to see and that battery is so tiny. Any idea where to find one? Radio shack? I couldn't find a size on the cell just 12V 23A. My MM is just doing fine, just curious.

Thanks HG8Grl and Pyloric Thinker. So its really small the battery, hmmmmmm well it just may do to get another. I will see if I can get the screwdrewer and how much a 12v 23A is. I appreciate the help.

 

[HzG8rGrl]

I googled the size and a lot of options came up. They are very cheap-it's just the shipping on such a small item-LOL. Shipping gets us every time.
