Need ammeter

Post by rsgriffin »

Can anyone recommend a reasonable sub-100 dollar ammeter for testing a battery drain?

If it is for testing purposes you can pick one up for around $30.00 at Radio Shack.

Harbor Freight has its standard meter with ammeter for about $4.
You can also use an inline test light and pull fuses until you find it
