After a few years of use. My Thermapen quit working. After removing the batteries and testing with one of my Flute meters. I got 3.01 volts from both of the CR2032 3V batteries. It takes 2 batteries.
New CR2032 batteries I've checked are only 3.2 volts.
So, with only .4 volts low ( .2 per battery)total. I guess the Thermapen won't work.
I had great battery life out of the Thermapen :thumb:
Just wanted to let folks know who might think their pen died permanently when they test the batteries only to find the batteries are actually still above the 3V but the pen won't fire.
Still today I find I use my Thermapen ALOT. More than I ever thought. I bought one for my SIL that is a great cook. She thought I was nuts. Now she sings the praises.
Get one on sale if you can. :clap:
