Storage considerations
After the first charge, it is recommended that you fully
charge the battery periodically, even when it is not in use.
This is because the Ni- MH rechargeable battery pack may
drain with time.
List of compatible batteries for the Agilent U1253B :
• 9 V Alkaline non-chargeable battery (ANSI/NEDA 1604A or IEC 6LR61)
• 9 V Carbon-zinc non-chargeable battery (ANSI/NEDA 1604D or IEC6F22)
• 9 V size 300mAH Ni-MH rechargeable battery, 7.2 V nominal voltage
• 9 V size 300mAH Ni-MH rechargeable battery, 8.4 V nominal voltage
To avoid instrument damage from battery leakage:
• Always remove dead batteries immediately.
• It is recommended that the battery is removed and stored
separately if the multimeter is to be unused for long periods of time.
The performance of the rechargeable battery may degrade with time.
