I used a Rechargeable Enegizzer , for my small lamp one AA , It leeked and some part it corroded the aluminium and the insaide it killed the anadazation
I see I'm not the only one suffering from these messy dry cells…
this looks like old Amiga computer with leaked NiCd-accu, happy rebuild with fairyhair aka thin lacquered copper wire
I think heat causes this
NO MORE Energizer's for me ever!
Pure shi…p. It's so sad that we can't even rely on the so well known Energizer batteries. I'd sent this in a mailbox straight to the Energizer
Oh no! If only they had put protective film on the board too!
Did you contact the battery manufacturer (Eveready) about your multimeter replacement under the battery company warranty. They guarantee against leakage. I have had several flashlights replaced by the battery manufacturer because the batteries leaked and they were still within the expiration date.
WHY?! WHY DO PEOPLE LEAVE BATTERIES IT EQUIPMENT?!?!?!
Do they only leak when connected up to something?
I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the fixing channels like The Cod3r doesn’t make an offer for it to make a repair video. The problem then is will it’s accuracy be affected?
Spray it with ascetic acid. It dries completely without residue. Wash it with water.
Thanks, made me look at the batteries in my multimeter and sure enough, one of them just started leaking! Luckily hasn't reached the contacts yet.
In worst case you can do something like from this video: "Сплёл паутину на RX6800XT\\ Трэш-контент по восстановлению текстолита, тестируем клей ВК-9".
Great Fluke who art the lord of measuring equipments in heaven, have mercy with poor 3000 today!
Drop the PH-value and breathe that magic smoke back into her, and may that virgin beauty live forever after!
A… aaaw man! 🤦♂
Poor fluke, now you have to try to repair it 🙃
I'm sure you can get it fixed! Nothing is unrepairable. Just whip out your multimeter and… oh
Tots and pears.
I'd definitely do a full bath in warm water first, with scrubbing, or some ultrasonic cleaning. Maybe a clean second bath. Then a full IPA bath. Reason is, you can safely assume those substances are a) much better soluble in water than in IPA and b) hygroscopic, so any trace amounts you leave behind will just continue corroding everything.
Fix it,i want it…😅
On the plastic breaking, I have seen the crud get into pre existing cracks or defects and as it dries and crystalizes it expands and breaks the plastic.
Three questions:
1) why is the battery compartment not sealed against battery leaks? It can't be difficult to isolate the battery compartment to stop battery chemicals from accessing the product PCB.
2) what os the plastic case made of, is it makes with a chemical symbol?
3) Why is the case plastic not selected to be impervious to battery chemicals? Polypropylene and high density polyethylene is extremely resistant to corrosive chemicals.
try dunking in evaporust before drying the board and coating, will remove most of the corrosion caused by the battery
This happens to every one of our newer flukes (100’s) regardless of the battery manufacturer. Doesn’t happen to our Kyoristu’s. I’m about done with Fluke.
I can hear that 90's Jacko ad in my head now………."Energizer…….It'll surprise ya….oi"
RIP fluke, you led a valiant life plays taps 🎺
YIKES!!!! That scared the crap out of me. I am going to yank batteries right now.
The "crack" on the back-case is a result of blisterforming.
The Fluke Yellow plastic contains a metal filler meant to be a fire-retardant. It is probably the same as what made ivory PC's yellow over age, as well as parts of washing machines.
"Energizer! You were the chosen one! You were meant to replace Duraleaks, not be them!"
