    +/- 150mV DC offset with different imbalanced impedance electrodes. The CMRR 3.0E DC offset is supplied by an internal battery. The lifetime of this battery is estimated to be at more than 40 hours under continuous use. Therefore, its time in service should be long enough for tests that only last a few seconds each time.
