- Odd Battery Voltages - 1 Update

Hi all, Earlier I needed to do something with my graphing calculator. It only gets used very rarely so I wasn't surprised when it didn't switch on. I immediately suspected the batteries, but they were fine. All the same, I slipped in a brand new set. Still nothing. In the battery compartment they have an arrangement of 4xAAA cells in series to give a 6V supply. However, on checking the voltage from 'head to toe' as it were (from the first '-' to the last '+') I got a reading of minus 3V instead of the plus 6V I'd expected. Checked all the connections and the probes in the right sockets and whatnot: all fine. I'm sure I've had this issue before with a different battery appliance in the dim and distant past but can't recall what the cause was. It's like it's too far in the back of my mind to resurrect any more. :( Can anyone assist, please? ******************************************************** You are not checking from "head to toe". You might think you are, but you are not. Gareth. |
