The 70 series Flukes get *2000* hours!
The 27 gets 1000 hours etc.
Not of actual operation. You are wrong.

Wavetek's can get 500-700 hours.
It's only modern dogs like the 189 with all these whopping data
logging features that have poor battery life and hence need
rechargeables.
I agree wholeheartedly with all of your points.
Sometimes a simpler device is more appropriate too. I'd get a couple for the
money actually. One of them would be either a 70 or 80 series I reckon.
Whatever makes you feel better. Even if it is now off by 2% (and I
seriously doubt it), it's still plenty accurate enough for anything I need
to do. Care to take some pot shots at my Hitachi V650F scope now? At any
rate, since I don't let people like you near any of my test equipment, it's
probably gonna be good to go for another 20 years. HTH
Some of HP's low end stuff is rebadge Chinese items, like

Even when such "features" are unused?
Yes.
Sounds like a bad design.
Common sense is using a high accuracy meter, regardless of
consumption rate, and using rechargeables, as they recoup your costs
quite quickly. Better for the environment as well.
You need to catch up with modern times.
If one is not in the field, then bench meters are the "way to go".

As for your scope, whoopie fucking doo. As for instruments, I have
handles much more sensitive gear than you have. Components as well.
Leave that high accuracy bench meter on all day do you?, how much
power is that using?, how much CO2 is that contributing?
That's why you'll never get near it, like I said.
I'm starting to wonder what equipment you actually own vs. the stuff your
keepers let you fondle. Do you OWN a Fluke?
I own a 4 channel 100Mhz scope, and an HP 3478A, and a cheap Protek
506, which is MY baseline version of a cheap meter, and beats your
shit shack crap all to hell and back.
The Agilent unit is ALSO made in china. That does not, however,
make that product "low end" by any stretch.

I USE Flukes at work, as well as HP network analyzers, and HP
spectrum analyzers.
So **** off.
I made a new joke this week.
I was in Arack all day.
MassiveProng said:No. I use instrument WHEN I need them. And the amount is negligible
either way. Ever seen the consumption spec on one?
David L. Jones said:The spec for the 77 Series III is 2000 hours typical from an alkaline.

And yes, that is operational time.
It is not uncommon for a Fluke 70 to last for many years on the one
battery with normal use. Ask anyone who's actually used one.
Anthony said:Of course since it's not designed to be used anally you might not have much
need for one.
