Re: HP 34C - which way round are the batterys fitted? Message #6 Posted by Jon Duke on 29 Mar 2010, 12:04 p.m., in response to message #5 by db (martinez, ca.)
Hi DB, thanks for your words. What you say sounds like a good safe approach. It's something I hadn't considered. Re things to stop corrosion, I favour silicone grease, what plumbers use to ease plastic plumbing pipes over O rings in connectors. Over here the phone companies dip wires in it before clamping them in roadside distribution boxes, so it ought to be good. It is very inert indeed. The only thing to watch out for is that it does not go down well in places where paint is being applied, like car bodyshops: it causes wet paint to roll back from any trace. HTH.
