Does it maintain accuracy down to 0 volts

I do not understand the necessity of your question as in most cases the main concerns would be with the upper range of a meter or an expanded range. IF you are looking for digital meter readings that vary + or - over a 0 center point with any type of accuracy, be prepared to pay extra $$$. This is a place where an analog meter would be more cost effective and logical than a digital configuration... IMHO. Best Wishes for your quest. Tommy

I don't know for sure, but my guess would be "No." As most devises have a +/- accuracy and I would expect that for the price they are charging it is quite possible it is accurate to around five percent. Hope that helps, I still really like mine. They work extremely well on my generator panel.

It is very close to 12 volts, and varies very little.The voltage is also not adjustable.Mine measured 12.08V.

Yes. It does get screwed up after recording for more than 30 days. It also calculates the power factor and displaus actial power generated into an ac load system. If dc should be 100%, so no derating. Eg into a battery chrging system.

No, it will only pick up as low as 110 v. AC. Get the fluke t-5 1000 meter for low volt DC and AC current.

Same here. I think it is the auto-ranging function. Turn off the auto-ranging and it should settle down. I have zero variability when set to volts range. Given the price of the meter I decided not to worry about this glitch.

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

This tester will show any voltage across its probes, AC or DC. So, the answer is yes, it will register 3.6 if your battery is good. It is a good tester, the only downside being the letters around the dial are in dark ink on a dark background. You may need a flashlight to set the dial.

I have not checked its accuracy against other thermometers. I do know the unit functions well and i have had no issues with it. I use it to switch on and off an incondesant light bulb that heats a small space where a control unit for a lumber kiln is. The manufacturer recommends that it not be exposed to temperatures less than 40 degrees. So right now, it is not doing anything but reading a fairly high temp and keeping the circuit open.

Yes it does. the only problem I had was when I dropped it and the batteries fell out. Works just fine, I have not yet brought it to my doctors to 'calibrate it' against their equipment however I believe it's pretty accurate.

No. This is a fine meter which is more at home in the power distribution area than in the audio and RF signal strength area. Its lowest voltage scales are designed for 1 to 400V for both AC and DC. It's a good meter for its intended use which does not include micro and millivolt volt measurements. Input impedance circuits in meters like this are too low to measure millivolt size signals,

yes , it is very easy to read all the voltages, any not with in specs the reading will be in red . I do have the old style tester and bought this one and have been using it ever since. I am keeping my old tester as a back up in case it fails.

I guess the answer is yes. It does not draw power when it is not being used. Unless of course if it is left in one of the ohm reading positions and the test leads were touching each other in your tool bag causing the meter to deflect. Also on Rx1 position there is beeper that sounds. I love the feature but it would draw down the batteries if left on and the leads touched. It's a great meter. I love it. I always put it in a voltage reading position then put it back in the tool bag. Hope this helps.

It is adjustable but you will need a voltmeter to adjust it to the needed voltage.

It will measure current well under 5A DC. I've been told clamp on meters aren't very accurate and I think this is compounded at lower currents when the coil is influenced by other stray fields. When I went outside and did a little testing with my trickle charger (and leadtype multimeter in series) I found that it's quite accurate (within 10%) down to 0.5A but when I got to the 0.05A it was out by up to 75%. I think your results will vary depending on environment.

I have had no problems with mine. Accurate as far as I have been able to determine.

This charger has a voltage readout so you can observe that it doesn't maintain a constant (float) voltage. It seems to let the battery drop to a predetermined level and than recharge (energy conservation?).

no, but it works great as it was designed to do. nice clean 5 volt step down
