Take your TDS meter into your local watch repair place.

You will pay about £4.00 per battery (there are cheaper ones that wont last as long) and get them to put them in.

 My local watch repair people told me that even the moisture from your finger prints getting onto the battery can cause them to discharge quickly and lose their life span.

That was a tip a was told about years ago by a friend he said you lose most of the charge by handling them so use thin cardboard when fitting them something similar when handling halogen bulbs

Your mate is spot on, when I was a chep we had to change the bulbs using tissue and our fingers couldnt touch the clear part as they blow quite soon if not straight away.

So back to the original question does anyone know what the numbers of these batteries are?
Someone take the back off your TDS Meter and let me know please

I had my first TDS meter with original battery for 7 years and it only packed up when I left it out in the rain for a few days. I only use it occasionally though.
