Battery drain.

[dr. d]

Thank you for this explanation! Now this answers my question why those battery shops will buy your busted battery. They can make a "reconditioned​ battery" by exchanging the dead cells.

I always bring my portable charger and jump-start battery. Unfortunately, I gave my portable battery to my brother. I suppose I can buy a new one.





For a cheapskate like me, I don't want to buy this battery tester if it is possible to check my battery with my multimeter. I don't want to put something​ that is not OEM, as much as possible, as I consider it as "clutter".

I think I should have bought a clamp meter instead of this multimeter. The only reason I bought this is for our project, we needed to measure the room temperature. I was thinking that a multimeter is a handy tool but I'm​ thinking now that a clamp meter is better. I can simply turn on the car without starting the engine. In that way, I can monitor the current. The question is, the "correct value" of Ampere reading.






To justify my purchase of this "expensive" five thousand peso multimeter, I hope to get a detailed guide on how to make the one that you mentioned. The ones I found in the internet is too complicated​ for me or just not OEM for me or I just​ didn't search thoroughly enough.

for testing ordinary circuits, home and auto, buy the cheap ones at handyman or ace. less than 500 pesos. i have both analog and digital.
"they'll do."
i prefer the heavier model, as the unit sometimes gets carried away by the leads.

the one you have pictured here, the manurfacturer put in all those pictures on the box, to impress the prospective buyer.
