[James M. Walker]

Those are BA31 (4.5 VDC) and BA30 (your classic D-cell 1.5VDC)
they are still available at various places and prices:-->

For the reason the meters were surplused out! The battery manufacturing
process included mercury.

Duracell makes a 4.5VDC battery that will fit in the spaces set up for the
BA31 and connectors to adapt it inside theTS-352 are available at Radio
Shack.

I have and use two TS352 VOMs I find the ability to measure up to
5000 VDC quite handy. Find all of the manuals for the tester at
