Hi Sue

My EC tester batteries  died during this test!  I replaced them with a spare set , checked the calibration and readings [ were OK ]

The spare ones are a bit old and showed signs or corrosion even though the volts are passable [ what ever happened to  leak proof  batteries?? ]  I don't think I should leave them in the tester too long in case they cause damage.

The pH meter batteries are also showing they are near the end of life.

Could you send me  2 replacement sets?   Each instrument takes 4 of  A76. [ or LR44 ]  1.5 volt alkaline button batteries.

Best Regards 

 

Kev Smith
