The problem as I see it with a digital gauge is that by the time you use it a second time, it needs new batteries.

They need so little power you could charge it up enough for a dozen reads with just a minute in the cigarette lighter. The usual problem with these is that they use crappy button cells that self discharge in 6 months.

Also- this one has 4 batteries:
1 CR2032 and 3 LR44
and it is not a rechargeable device.
Enjoy!

I’ve been using the same one for nearly 15 years now and have never changed batteries. I don’t think they’re even replaceable on this model.

I bought a digital gauge and found that it wasn’t very well calibrated…nor were the cheap stick type…stick to the more expensive bourdon tube type
