Battery Replacement
The solar tester is powered from 4 standard AA alkaline batteries which can be easily replaced by the user.

and match batteries of different brands or new and old batteries. To replace the batteries, remove the battery
covert from the back of the solar tester and replace the batteries. Figure 7 shows the orientation of the batteries
within in the battery holder.
