> well I had batteries in my multi meters. Didn't use the meters for a while. Next time when I tried to use them: nothing. Opened the battery compartment and the batteries were leaking and corroded the inside of the meters. I tried to clean up the contacts with sand paper to get clean contacts again but the corrosion was deeper in the meter. So: dead multi meters. Now I have the habit to take out the batteries and have them outside (next to the meters) in a box.
