Need some new ones, sure I remember someone(maybe JW?) posting years ago a company that did good ones at a reasonable price. Can't find it in the archives.

Graham, did you notice the extra connection tag on the battery pack? I presume they do this so no rechargable can be used. I remember a post some time ago where someone had used individual batteries and the charging circuit in the PMS was damaged.

Hi Phil
My PMS100 had a battery pack which was the size and shape of 4 c-cell batteries 2 above another 2.
The PMS100 states on the battery cover, a battery pack number (PM9086)or 4 x 1.5v Alkaline/NiCd c-Cell R14).
The unit is working perfectly well and now holds a charge.

Hi lads, another tight git here! and better off for it (in more ways than one).

Just replaced the batteries in my fluke 98. Used four C cells, each 4000 mAh 1.2v.
I have always had short use out of the old batteries right from new.
I used to always use a fluke 12v adapter until it started behaving like it had a bad connection on the jack plug, I took it to a mate who repairs TVs and the like and he said it was my duff batteries that were confusing the charging system. the only thing i had to do was wire the charging contact to the pos terminal(just have to make sure i don't try charging standard batts in it or it will most likely burn something out).
This tool is now better than it has ever been, i had it running constant and it did over four hours.
This is now a good tool that is very portable.

Regards Kim.

Hi Kim,
I had exactly the same problem with my Fluke from new, and cured it in much the same way as you and as you say it's transformed the thing into a very usable tool, the sort of tool it should have been right from the start. You'd think someone like Fluke could get it right!
