Hi,

I disassembled this damaged (I think...) capacitor from my Fluke 87 1°
series.

Why ?

Because the Fluke use up battery also in OFF state.
But now I am not sure that this capacitor is damaged, shoud be only a
calibration?

Did removal of the capacitor fix the battery drain problem? If yes then it is
likely the problem. You should be able to find a replacement from a parts
vendor, or from Fluke. If not, put it back into the circuit and look elsewhere.
Are you sure the battery is good? Is it possibly a rechargeable that has
reached the end of its useful life?
