Review on πŸ”‹ Fluke BP120MH: High-performance Metal Hydride Rechargeable Battery for ScopeMeter by Deshaun Fisher

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent performance over OEM Ni-Cad BP120

Excellent improvement over BP120NiCad Ancestor. After installing the 123 oscilloscope, I charged the battery according to the user guide that Fluke provided with the battery. A battery update was performed the following day using a 123 meter. The following day I tested with the following results: 9:30 am, the meter was on, set to AUTO and no input wires connected - the battery gauge showed 100% capacity, 10:20 am, the battery gauge dropped to 75% capacity, 12:37 (noon) - Battery gauge fell to 50% capacity, 14:43 Battery gauge fell to 25% capacity and at 16:00 contour. At 4:25 p.m. the meter switched itself off. I put the meter back into the charger that came with Fluke and the battery at about 6 hours. The BP120MH's performance is about three times faster than its NiCad ancestor, the BP120. The BP120MH supplied by Revain was a FLUKE released NiMH battery and came in a Fluke box with additional battery information. I cannot confirm any other batteries listed as replacements for the Fluke 123 oscilloscope other than this one from Revain.
