well it's for sale if you want it Glen lol

got several anologue ohmmeters mike....i may be tempted to find a spot for another one though

I think by charging unit he means it came with re-chargeable batteries, and the unit is for them?

yeah this is what I meant, sorry for not getting back sooner, and I did also read that megger don't recommend the use of rechargeable batteries so why would they supply a charging unit with rechargeable batteries for the 1552?

The previous owner clearly didn't know that it wasn't recommended to use rechargeables.

go for value for money....good callibration houses will allow 24 hours in a climate controlled room for instruments to `normalise` before puttin em on the rig....
which begs me to ask why my part pis assessor tried offering me `callibration` out of the back of his car....

He did mine at a house I was working at.lol

I normally use a lab near me but he txt me and said it needed doing.....i totaly forgot and it was a week out of date!!! I couldn't book it in to the normal place for two weeks and I needed it for a few jobs, so I thought id give him a shot.

and he just kind of `homed in` did he?....pathetic...not you.....`im...
the bottom line here is you cant expect to give an ohmmeter the best of chances can you...if it isnt in a stable environment....think about it.....the rig it will be put on has the advantage of being in a stable environment...and so it follows that the ohmmeter that its supposed to be verifying...has also to be `conditioned` to the same environment....how the hell do you acheave this out of the arse end of a car/van?.....
