I have to agree. I have a little nicer electronic one than the one
Bob suggested. <br>
I've had the batteries go bad in several of my electronic gauges and leak
and <br>
made a mess in the gauges. Trying to clean them and make the usable
again is<br>
a real pain. So I strongly suggest that you take the batteries out
of the gauge <br>
when not in use and store them in a plastic baggie. That way, when
the leak, they <br>
don't mess up the gauge.<br><br>
