Q: Do these meters need batteries?
No, this pH and moisture meter set relies on a bi-metal probe in each unit to generate its own reading, so there's no battery to charge or replace.
AB929 - Soil pH Meter & Moisture Meter
These two quick-read meters let you easily check the moisture level and pH level of your soil. Requiring no batteries, each has a bi-metal probe that inserts directly into soil to provide fast results.
The moisture meter gauges the conductivity of the soil to measure moisture content, indicated by readings from 0 to 10 on the display. By consulting a companion guide, which lists moisture requirements for 170 plant types, you can determine whether the plant needs water immediately, has good moisture or has been over-watered.
The soil pH meter uses chemical reactions between the probe and acidic or alkaline soil to measure pH from 3.5 (strongly acidic) to 9 (strongly alkaline). A chart listing over 430 plant species and their preferred pH range is provided, along with instructions for adjusting the pH of your soil. Includes a cleaning pad for removing any oxidation that accumulates on the probe between uses.
Each meter has a 26 1/2" long cord that lets you hold the meter in one hand for easy viewing, while using the other hand to insert the 4 1/4" probe into the soil. Two simple ways to keep your plants healthy.
These meters are also available separately.

This soil pH and moisture meter's moisture side reads water content on a 0 to 10 scale, with an included guide covering the watering needs of over 170 plant species.
The pH meter measures acidity and alkalinity from 3.5 to 9, with a chart covering the target range for over 430 plant species.
A cleaning pad is included specifically for wiping the probes, since a coated or dirty probe can throw off both readings.
