Digital Voltmeter with DC Current
#1

I ran across this DVM in Lowes the other day for 120 bucks. I know it's not a Fluke, but it does have AC and DC current sensing which is unusual for a meter of this price. It also has a temp sensor probe. And the ability to measure capacitors (i.e. motor start caps), and diodes.

Although I have (wait I ain't tellin the actual number) of voltmeters, I didn't have one with DC current. So, of course it made it's way into the buggy.  I thought this was a really neat tool to keep on the Newell.

I actually have 3 DVMs that have current sensing. 1 with AC only, then bought 1 with AC/DC current when I installed the LiFPO3s. Thought I lost it and bought another one. But I'm cheaper than you and bought mine on Amazon for $40. I also have a couple Fluke DVMS.
Can't have too many cool tools....

I purchased one of these a few years ago after using one at a seminar;

Best price I found was $128.00; http://shop.pkys.com/Blue-Sea-Systems-81..._1695.html

It was very handy finding the problem in the Switch when I had the trouble with my Jacobs Brake. Not sure who makes it for them but it lives at the Newell.

I have used several of the Blue Sea digital DC meters and found them to be very dependable.

Forest, my curiosity is killing me, what are LiFPO3s?

I have an almost new Fluke 88V/A Multimeter Kit which I would like to sell, so I am posting it here if anyone is interested.  Fluke sell them for $630, Amazon for $496, and there is one on eBay for $345 plus shipping.  Perhaps it is worth $350 and I will ship free.  If interested, please post.
