[volt-nuts] Affordable batteries for Fluke 732A DC ReferenceStandard?

[Greg Burnett]

...Great information and suggestions by everyone! (I'd not thought of all 
those possibilities.)

Now the ball is in my court to measure the old batteries' outside 
dimensions, tab dimensions and tab positions - and then narrow the choice 
down to batteries that will fit. One thing I've learned from this so far is 
that apparently each battery manufacturer (or re-seller) uses their own 
custom battery part number designation. Too bad they didn't do a better job 
of standardizing?

One important consideration is that the battery connection tabs must align 
with the corresponding holes in Fluke's internal aluminum top plate. (This 
wouldn't be a consideration for the vast majority of similar applications, 
but in this case Fluke's internal aluminum plate "expects" the tabs to be 
precisely positioned.)

Thanks John, Ed, Roy, Dave, Mark and Eric for all your help!
