Asked Questions
Question
Answer
Can manganese
batteries be used?
The continuous operating time of the instrument
(approximately 8.5 hours) is measured using
alkaline batteries.
Note that use of manganese
batteries considerably reduces the
continuous operating time
(approximately 2.5
hours: reference value).
Can Nickel Metal
Hydride Batteries be
used?
Can be used. However, the discharge
characteristics of nickel-metal hydride batteries
differ from those of alkaline batteries. Hence,

indicator when the nickel-metal hydride batteries
are used.
Due to those errors, note that there is a
possibility of the instrument losing power
suddenly under such conditions, regardless
of the remaining battery life as shown by the
battery level indicator.
Can the instrument
measure internal
resistance or voltage of
battery up to how much
ampere hour (Ah) ?
There is no limitation on the amount of current in
ampere hours (Ah) because the instrument uses
AC signals for measurement and DC current
