XBERSTAR FLUKE 287/289 Battery Contact Plates

XBERSTAR stainless-steel battery contact plates replace worn positive and negative terminals in FLUKE 287 and 289 multimeters for reliable power conduction.

If your FLUKE 287 or 289 multimeter shows intermittent power or won't power on despite a good battery, the internal battery contacts may be corroded, bent, or broken. These XBERSTAR replacement contact pieces—available as positive, negative, or a matched pair—are precision-formed from stainless steel to restore consistent electrical contact and extend the life of your instrument without replacing the whole case or carrier.

How do these replacement contact pieces fix power issues?

Worn or damaged battery shrapnel can prevent the battery from seating properly or making a solid electrical connection. Swapping in new stainless-steel contacts reinstates firm spring pressure and clean metal-to-metal contact, reducing voltage drop and intermittent shutdowns.

• Replaces corroded or deformed positive and negative terminals
• Restores spring tension for consistent battery seating
• Stainless material resists further corrosion
• Simple swap avoids replacing housing or entire meter

What exactly comes in the package and what options are available?

Choose the exact piece you need: a single positive terminal, a single negative terminal, or a set that includes both. Each part is supplied individually packaged so you can order only what’s required for your repair.

• Single positive shrapnel (1 piece)
• Single negative shrapnel (1 piece)
• Positive + negative pair available as a combined pack
• Each part shipped as a separate, ready-to-install component

Will these parts fit my FLUKE 287 or FLUKE 289 multimeter?

These contact plates are manufactured to match the original FLUKE 287/289 battery terminal geometry and mounting points. They’re intended specifically for those models, making them a direct-fit replacement when the original metal contacts are damaged or corroded.

• Designed for FLUKE 287 and FLUKE 289 models
• Match original contact shape and spring orientation
• Easy alignment with existing screw or snap locations
• Works with standard battery compartment layout

How difficult is installation and what tools will I need?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable opening the multimeter battery compartment and handling small parts. A small screwdriver set and tweezers are typically sufficient; no soldering is required if the contacts are mechanical spring plates.

• Requires basic hand tools (precision screwdrivers, tweezers)
• No specialized equipment or soldering for mechanical contacts
• Quick swap—usually a few minutes per contact
• Keep screws and small parts organized during reassembly

Who this is for: Technicians, field engineers, electricians, electronics hobbyists, and anyone who relies on FLUKE 287 or 289 multimeters and wants a cost-effective repair option. These XBERSTAR stainless-steel battery contact plates are a practical maintenance part for extending the usable life of your meter, reducing downtime, and avoiding unnecessary replacement of the entire unit.
