No it doesn't like some of the vexilars. Maybe the older models do but not the newer ones.

No, I believe they stopped installing them because people forgot to unplug the meter and it would drain the battery. My friends have it on their Marcums and I wish mine had it, but I still love the unit.

I asked my son and he wasn't sure. He has not unpackets yet for this winter, but both he and my husband thought it was great.

Yes,if by meter you are referring to the lights, it has the same meter as the original battery. At least the one I received did, but my battery lasted less than 6 months before it would not hold charge anymore.

Likely. Insertion of an amp meter between the HQRP output and battery a good idea to check whether within the 10 A max output of the HQRP. Voltmeter across battery helps to determine state of charge. Free Harbor Freight digital meters work fine in our applications. Search for 'hqrp user's manual' for links with videos of test configurations .

I received the main unit along with two probes. I don't recall if batteries were included or not.

The unit is battery operated. The one I received did not include a battery.

Yes it does. And it's pretty accurate, you can turn it on or off. User manual is extremely incomplete and confusing though

Mine didn't and the digital gauge broke right after the return window closed. I would not buy again...

Yes. Rechargeables are slightly lower voltage. Hence you need a true "battery tester". This is a batter tester. Not a voltage meter.

Yes. Unit works great. You can also buy replacement batteries in amazon. They last a few years

Yes, the battery last a good while. The meter has a power saving feature if you leave it on and don't use it it will go into sleep mode turning itself off. It comes with 2 AAA batteries which lasts a long time. Very easy to replace, turn the screw in the back to unlock the compartment and remove the depleted batteries. Re-install with new alkaline batteries.

No it does not require an extra battery. The meter works off of the battery you are testing.

I don't think so, I had already put a small after market digital volt meter in my small boat, so I never noticed if it does.

Correct. The unit does not come with batteries out of the box, but you may use regular or rechargeable batteries.

No, there is a separate unit, I believe it fits into the battery compartment, sold separately for radio triggering. The functionality for it is there but you must purchase the radio trigger unit separately. Without it you get ambient and flash readings only.

That's a good question...another reason it should come with an manual..in any case it does have backup battery power that won't last long depending on what u have plugged in but the backup battery is included and alrdy installed in the unit which is really helpful as so with the digital display/timer.

No. There is no battery charge gauge on either of the tools or the batteries.

Yes you can, and also record the voltage that the battery contains. Although this unit is meant to do much more than that, and there are other less expensive multi-meters or battery testers that can give that type of information.
