What does the meter read with a good 1.5 V and 9 v battery? Thanks Glenn

Cannot answer your question exactly but suggest you look at the following link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoeUgMFLyAw.It will give you a GOOD insight. For my use the meter is adequate.

You must to read a little amount more than 1.5 or 9 volts. For example you can read 1.523 volts but if you read 1.42 the device is over

Even with the most trusted Lithium batteries, one might see readings varying from: On a brand new 1.5v battery... 1.2-1.7v; On a brand new 9v battery... 8.5-9.2v. This does not occur solely with this reader. I've seen this occur with numerous readers.

I've used a number of different AA batteries in this unit and I always get a 3.6v reading on the volt meter.

The meter must have its own, separate power supply. I use a 12vdc transformer plugged into my inverter and it works great. I am able to monitor amps used by the inverter and other DC loads connected to my batteries as well as switch to see battery voltage. If you already have a separate power supply, you may have a bad meter.

I'm sorry, but I don't remember. I think it was the AA batteries as I do not remember having to buy a 9v. I gave as a gift.

I used this meter for general use low voltage 1v -28v dc and some 110v ac. This meter is auto ranging. Looks like your looking for meter that measures milli volts below 1 volt I would not buy this model.

I have no idea and I'm not going to try.In general the meter seems pretty robust at measuring large, variable loads in the direction it was designed to measure. My application was an electric bike with a typical voltage above 50vDC and loads all the way up to 1.5kw.

I measured the output of mine plugged in to my motorcycle connection. 12.97 volts going in from the battery, output 5.1 volts so the spec from the Battery Tender website is incorrect.

I know you need 1 9volt and the rest are AA Batteries but I'm not sure how many of the AA you need!

Meter Power supply, two pin / wires = red & black are 4.5 to 30 volt input for meter display. (separate from measuring / test voltage). Can use a 9 volt battery. Second connector: 3 pin / wires for measuring under test voltage & current. "IN, "PW" & "COM". Connect "PW" to positive side of circuit under test (+) and "COM" to (-) of test circuit; for the voltage readout on meter. Connect "IN" to load side of shunt. V-cal & A-cal are the adjustments on the P.C board for calibration purposes. The data sheet does not specify this very well. Needs more verbiage in directions department.

dont know but its very little.i hooked mine up to my deep cycle battery overnight with my digital meter also hooked up and didnt drop any volts, not even a tenth of a volt.

The Ideal VDV Multimedia Tester runs on a standard 9 volt alkaline battery. I have been using my meter on and off over for over 17 months and (knocking on wood as I type this) the battery (some off brand that comes with the meter) is still going strong. "Results will vary, your parents will not need to help you put it together, battery is included, but wait there's more..." well actually there's not but I just had to say it.

I do not know why this should not work.Point and read the meter. Battery comes with new meters.

The Weighmax 35 lbs Postal scale I ordered came with a 9V battery. That is what it uses, one 9V.

These are marked: NIMH 11,000 mAh and 1.2V which my volt-meter seems to confirm. 1.2V

Yes, set the scale for DC range, and place the two probes using the correct polarity so the meter reading is a plus (+) reading. If the batteries are under load when doing this, the voltage may be less than 24vdc. If the two batteries are not connected to the trolling motor, the reading could be 24vdc, otherwise, if near zero or substantially less than 24vdc, the batteries are either bad, shorted, etc. or need recharged. Also check each battery separately.

If battery is at least 5 volts and gauge does not respond when connected then gauge is bad. My recollection is, there is nothing to adjust or set up on these. Just the two wires.Max 30V so don't connect to wall outlet! (duh, these are DC anyway).I'd test by finger-pressing the stripped ends of the leads directly on the tips of the 9V battery.A regular 12V car battery would also have contacts available for testing, in most cars.

Positive. I was using one of these about a month ago and tested it with a multimeter. The center was positive and outputting around 9.3 V
