I bought some LR44 1.55v batteries on ebay for my Barclays Pin sentry
card reader. They don't work!
Using my digital multimeter the voltages of the 4 I tried are 0.471 1.30
1.43 1.47
What voltage should I get from a new battery?
A fresh silver oxide one should be around 1.6v under no load. See

The card reader was showing "Low Battery".Â* Fortunately after I rubbed
the old batteries with a tissue the card reader started to work so I
have been able to make my online bank payment.
