In this video I demonstrate a DIY method of adding external (solar) power to the Fluke 287 / 289 digital multimeter. I'm hoping to power and recharge the Fluke from solar power. This is a proof of concept project for myself...and you if you think it might be a handy hack ;-)
TAKE NOTE....Do this at your OWN RISK. You will void your lifetime Fluke warranty!!!

I'm doing this to extend the run time on the Fluke 287 during long periods of data logging as it chews through batteries.
