I would agree! Personally I would be wary of using rechargeable batteries in a meter because of self discharge. I checked out my AVO a couple of days back after finding the batteries in my other (Russian) meter were not coping on low ohms range. They were Ok, and have been in it at probably ten years. They both work well enough with original types so personally I keep it original and not invite problems.
