It is VERY easy to discharge the batteries by accident. Virtually 
any batteries will run the analyzer just fine, but I'd say the most 
critical consideration is to use batteries that won't leak and 
destroy it. 

There is also a hardware setting that minimizes the discharge 
problem. 

This analyzer was designed by W8JI, and there are both applications 
notes and a calibration procedure on his website. Recommended.
