Eveready No. 8 batteries...

Does anyone know if it is still possible to get Eveready No. 8 batteries (they were/are the battery that was a little less than a C cell in diameter, but about 1.5 times the length - nominal voltage 3V)?I have an old multimeter that has all sorts of ranges and functions you don't seem to find on modern multimeters, but it could do with a new battery.

Yes, agreed, but batteries have always been a rip off price in my view. Brian

and the battery will probably be completely flat now as well, after all this time. I wonder if hoh members are aware that Mafeking has been relieved?

and although in the end I bought a 2xAAAA battery holder and some batts, I don't think I ever got round to fitting them to the meter :-)

(most ranges other than ohms still work fine without power)
