Hi ya,
I got an old TMK multimeter. The 15v battery for the highest resistance
range needs replacing. It is a number 504. Any suggestions please on a
cheap and compact way to substitute this battery?
Thanks,
Dave

Not familiar with TMK. Assuming it is a bridge circuit, and there's
enough room, two nine volt batteries in series may work.


Or 5 CR123 3V lithium cells in series.
You might even be able to use lithium coin cells.

Thanks Jim, actually that's an idea I never thought of ( 2 x 9v bats). Bit
of tinkering etc ...yes! Lithium I think too expensive though.
Thanks,
Dave
