Ah exactley my question... which battery is in it? Maybe you are using the wrong battery which posably has the wrong amperage and voltage for your equipment.

If you were to correct the meter readings to coencide with another known accurate meter, will it be linear throughout form dark to light situations?

In my basement here I have 8 foot double florecent lamps and use them as my standard light source for testing my meters. I find some meters are off but I can adjust the ASA to compensate to the correct readings and it seems to work although some meters such, as my old Westons and 30 year old cameras are just too old to be linear as the cells are shot.

Also another thing to remember is that old CDS cells have memory if exposed to very bright ligh, but with direct sun, you can blow the cell too.
