does it measure amps

if measured volt ohm amp very useful and good recommend changing probes that brings as they are loose and sometimes mistake

I bought the meter to judge the level of lead-acid batteries, but since it is just a voltage meter, I'm not sure it would make any difference.

you can't test amps like that. only volts. and you should be getting anywhere from 12 to 14 volts on a fully charged battery..

Yes. The manual indicates the following tests: AC/DC voltage & current (amps) measurement, resistance measurement (ohms), diode test, continuity test, and battery test.

It Doesn't work, I wanted to do the same thing. I purchased 3 of these from different sellers, but none would work measuring amps.

It gives a running digital reading of amperage AC current, not DC. It has no capture capability for highest amperage event, your eyeballs have to do that. It does give quick readings however on a continuous basis if amps are selected, or watts, or volts or cycles per second or kwh.

All I have is a hand held meter with a needle. It displays 2.1 amps on start up. I am using an Active Air variable speed controller with mine. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003URBQ1M/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

The wire you are reading amps on Has to pass through the back of the at meter. I put my amp meter in my travel trailer And it works great

Yes, you can measure both AC & DC voltages up to 600 volts. When measuring resistance (ohms), the circuit/device is normally not powered. As far as I know, this meter doesn't measure AC impedance (like DC resistance).

You should be able to call AMP to find out. Maybe description isn't up to date

I have recently purchased a P4460. It nicely and accurately measures (among other things) Volts, Amps, Watts, and Kilowatt Hours.To measure WATTS (instantaneously) : Press the MENU button until you get to the VOLTS scale. Then press the UP button until you get to WATTS.

Yes you can measuretrue power but you cant measure current and volts at the same time

It'll measure up to 10 amps. Don't forget to plug the red volt meter wire into the current plug AND put it on the 10 amp range. If you get the wire polarity backwards, the volt meter will just show negative number. You won't blow anything up. However, do remember to move the red wire back to the voltage & resistance reading plug. Forget and you could have a problem the next time you try and read a voltage.Also be looking at the meter reading when you hook it up, if it goes over range disconnect immediately.

No, the other answers are wrong. It does not test not alternator amperage. For that, you would need an ammeter. Use a DC clamp ammeter so you won't have to break the circuit. What the BA7 does check is the alternator voltage. You can also do that with any accurate voltmeter. The proper alternator voltage when the car is running is 13.5v to 14.2v across the battery.

You might be disappointed. Meter can measure down to 10 micro amps according to the manual.

If you can get a connection, it will give you basic info only. It has gauges to measure different things, but I have not been able to get them to tell me anything.

It will verify your voltage but not your sine wave. Are you trying to measure frequency or peak waves?
