!Happy San Valentine to all!.
Reading about ESR meters. I have a very old "C&E" esr meter model
CT98. I need to know what the IC # are. Please if somebody know the
numbers or have any in your bond yard, let me know. I love this meter
and C&E is no more in business.
TIA

Yeah, but tool bags (K-Mart calls them tackle bags, go figure) come
fairly inexpensive, and readily available. Since they're soft, less
chance of causing damage when I inadvertently bump into things.

Well duuuuuuuuh John.
Dick didn't add safe guards for "Tool Bags".;-) Pulling the button may
work...wrapping the battery in Duct tape might work.;-)
How about a Crush Proof box?
See...in the old days..we carried Caddies. Tool Bags were for
Plummers.;-)

I kiled the first battery in about a week. The power switch was
triggering in my tool bag. I since pulled the button
out of the switch, and carry it seperately. Not perfect, but it works.
Anyone have a better idea?

Phil: have had mine for about 2 years and have only changed the
battery
twice and I use it all the time.. So you must have something wrong.

I love my Dick Smith, but one thing about battery life: First, to "zero"
the meter, you need to turn it on,short the leads together, and push
power button. If the battery is low, this is when the
meter shuts off instead of zeroing.But when I remove the old 9V battery
they always test good on my bat meter.I'm guessing the ckt that senses
the bat condition may be too sensitive. Anyone find this, and whats the
solution? I'm tired of changing 9V cells when they're only down a few
percent.
