Question Answer
Can manganese
batteries be used as a
power source?
The continuous operating time (p. 119)
of the instrument has been dened
considering the use of LR6 Alkaline
batteries. Note that the use of
manganese batteries will considerably
reduces the continuous operating
time. (For about 2.5 hours, value used
for reference purposes)
Can nickel-metal
hydride batteries be
used?
Can be used. However, there is a
dierence in discharge characteristics
between nickel-metal hydride batteries
and alkaline batteries. Hence, signicant
errors will develop in the instrument’s
battery level indicator when nickel-metal
hydride batteries are used.
Due to those errors, note that the
instrument may be suddenly shut
down, regardless of the remaining
battery life as shown by the
battery level indicator.
Is there a maximum
capacity of batteries
(amp-hours) of which
the instrument can
measure the internal
resistance and voltage?
There is no limitation on the capacity
of batteries because the instrument
uses AC signals for measurement and
DC current does not ow through the
instrument.
What are the
appropriate threshold
values?
See “1.1 Evaluating Battery
Deterioration” (p. 21).
