writer100 · 2012-03-23T17:58:04+00:00

My wife and i are going on a long trip. Being able to start the car is essential my domestic happiness. :D Can I use a multimeter to test battery strength, and what are the numbers I should get? Thanks.

Glad to hear it Alex. I love the old analog meters, and they definitely have their place. Enjoy your trip!
