Thanks Nigel So what does the REED do then? Thanks Pete :lol:

Hi I've got a LaCrosse Rain Gauge and it's been ok for a couple of years but now it's starting to use a lot batteries. I've used 4 AA Energizer Lithium batteries in 3 months, But it's always the same battery side (Where the Batteries Go) Has anybody else had this problem and fixed it? Thanks Pete :lol:
