I love the blub:
"The unit also has provision to be powered by 2 x CR2032 batteries for those
days when kinetic energy is not available."
LMAO!

Oh, and you gotta love the solar powered model:

I have a 20odd year old Fluke 77 and I think I have replaced the battery
(9volt) once or twice in that time.
Why would you need any more energy than that, kinetic or not?

I wonder what kind of battery the solar powered rechargable uses.

All the rechargable batteries I've ever had have died sooner than a
typical primary cell battery would have in this application.

Bingo, it's a useless concept.
Good auto power off and long battery life in a meter is not rocket science.

Unless its a marketing / gimick ploy. But I'm sure Jaycar wouldn't venture
into that arena.

** Bloody obvious to anyone

- the product blurb is a total wind-up.

I ahd a credit card sized solar calculator, it had no batteries at all.
Indoors it only worked directly onder a 100W desklamp...

And why do they seem to always have an "off" key?

Maybe they know something we don't.

Good question. Maybe dumb people want that? Either on customer or
manufacturer side...

My old solar powered Casio FX-991 only has an "on" key which works as
a reset, in case the calc has hanged due to insufficient light... Got
me through high school, although I remember one physics exam when
there was a power outage. Good thing it was short, otherwise I
would've been screwed... The calculator really doesn't work in dim
light, but OK in normal lightning.

Gees, Phil, you've found you sense of humour.
