    When the battery goes flat it will display a letter at the end of the index reading and it will not shut off, it will just pass gas unregistered.
    I want one of those !

    That's a standard G4 meter that has a wheezing set of bellows within. No battery required.
    photo showing the OP s exact meter is an E 6 meter not a G4 so it will have a battery

    I don't think my gas meter has a battery.
    All gas meters with a digital display need a battery.
