blitzskymaster Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Evening Guys- Was told by another engineer never to but a multimeter accross a battery, due to heat build up on the test leads of the multimeter. Can anyone confirm that he is correct? Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/27954-multi-meter/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
breff Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 How else do you measure the voltage in it? The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!

james.wilson Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 he might of meant 'dont put it accross a battery on 10A' as yes it will melt the leads if you not using fused leads. Also its pointless to do it on V as it will not prove battery health unless its totally shot. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Guest old-hand Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Is it me, or are people incapable of using the English language. In spelling and context? Sorry to pick this particular post, however it seems to be the normality on the forums recently.
