Questions & Answers

Do you think it's a good idea to have 12V batteries in a camper that runs off rechargable batteries?

Please take a look at this meter, Melek, I think you might find it useful for The bat is not very expensive and small, so can be a good way to figure out if your bat is healthy. In other words, a bat. The system. The draining is lower than any of your stuff, so it will not I wish you all the best while

When the engine is not running, is there a need to connect to a live outlet?

There is no other way to measure voltage than with a live circuit. Some car 12v outlets are live even when the key is off or the engine is turned When the engine isn't running, I use the app to check out the battery condition of my RV.

When the engine is cranking, does the voltage indicator show?

As soon as you turn on the switch, it shows the voltage, but blanks out while the engine is cranking and turns back on immediately after the ignition is turned on. When it is turned on, it shouldn't be turned on.

What is the accuracy of the readings?

My tester gives readings that are a little different from my tester by about 10ths, but it could be due to the fact that one reading is from It is very easy to spy on the indicator lights while driving because they work very well.

One year later, things are going well Don't let any junk in
5/5

Reviews by some reviewers seem to be the result of an argument with their spouse before they wrote them I suppose it might be better to kick a machine instead of the dog if you wish to take things out on an inanimate object. My Fluke comes out on top in voltage results with this tester, and the voltage readings we get are precisely as I would expect. In over a year of using it, I have been able to do quick checks on several different kinds of vehicles, and while some of them had a little space around their power sockets, I was always You may think that the odd fitment issue makes this meter junk, but perhaps it is the vehicle itself that is the problem (if you insist on being silly). The overall impression I have is that this is a handy glove However, since my son just stole mine this evening, I came here in order to replace the lost gadget. I do not believe it was a fluke, nor is it junk. Although the display could be a little easier to read, my vision at work is declining, so that might account for my difficulty reading the display. It is important to understand that the "alternator test" is simply a voltage-based guess at the problem and shouldn't be taken too seriously. That is to say, you should view the led results as more of a suggestion than a fact. The same is true for any simple tester of this type, not just this model. If you are unhappy with this item, the Fluke 1587 makes a much better "junk free" alternative - it's available on Amazon for $809 and has many other nifty features. The year is 1999 Thank you and best wishes to you.

The user interface could not be simpler! While anchored and running electrical accessories on the boat for the weekend, I needed a way to monitor the battery’s status
5/5

examining several expensive batteries, we decided on this one. The price was right and I decided to give this low-cost device a try rather than pay for monitoring systems with fancy displays that require complex installation. I was pleasantly surprised to find out it had the same accuracy as an expensive voltage With this new upgrade, I can now leave an accessory socket plugged in while not connected to shore power, and know how much power each item is using at all times. I can even find out the exact power usage of the devices that are plugged in. This is the best deal for the money. You're the best! The Salish Sea

There is an apparent mismatch between voltage and frequency
3/5

This product display displays the product easily, has a nice soft blue color, and is easy to read. My battery voltage meter, however, fluctuated quite a bit while driving, going from a very strong charge (green), to a questionable charge (amber) within a few minutes. The color changed to amber when it turned a corner. As of today, I have only tried Accessory. Running the engine, but without running the engine With the voltage dropping quickly to about 11+ volts, and the red dummy light flashing, it was evident the battery was defective. new battery in 2018 and in the same year the Toyota Highlander was able to start the vehicle strongly. This came regardless of the red indicator, which immediately illuminated the green LED, consistent with a charge being produced by the alternator. Overall, I need something which does not cause me to wonder if something is wrong with my electrical system when it is functioning as it should. The False Negative Rate is high based on my personal experience. Next, I'll try another brand, and if that still doesn't work, I'll take the vehicle to the dealership to have them determine whether or not the alternator or battery is at fault. It is impossible to judge it from this view, so I will go back and edit the review to reflect the value of the tester. It will be returned to me.

This is not the same as the The item was purchased in the hope that it would be a copy of the Innova 3721, but it was My hope was that there would be an adjustment screw that could be adjusted so it would be as close as possible to my multi-angle lens The Innova 3721 does not have a meter and the adjustment screw cannot be accessed (read Amazon review on how to get access to it)
4/5

As I already have the adjusted Innova 3721 with the same readings, I decided to keep it because this is not that far off from my normal reading.

It's a great tool for diagnosing
5/5

It is pretty cool that there is a plug-in charger for batteries. In my Jeep, the alternator was not charging and I was concerned that I might be Neither the auto parts guy nor the mechanic had my trust "Yes, I agree. When they test it, "it's bad. " is always what you hear. Well, I got this and plugged it into the power port, and there it was. Charging with a voltage of 7 volts. Everything is fine with us. There was a problem with the battery, which required that a different one be installed. The tool nevertheless proved to be extremely useful. Connect it to your car and you can see how your charging rate changes as you move around. Watch the road, not the road, and don't let that interfere with your work. A good option for people who want to determine the charging system and how much charge is left It's easy and kind of fun to take care of batteries.

I think this is almost as good as the iNova brand
4/5

Like the Nova brand, it works just as well, but the display backlight is hard to read in the dark and it's super snug in the power outlet. It may wear down over time so that it is a nice fit. If it hadn't been for those 2 things, it would have had 5 stars.

I think this thing is awesome
5/5

It is plugged into the cigarette lighter socket of your automobile and it shows the voltage of your battery immediately. You can also see an icon if the battery is being charged by the alternator. You can use it to quickly diagnose the electrical system of your vehicle. It is possible to use different electronics and view the changes in the output voltage of your alternator by driving and turning them on. Driving and looking at it at different RPM's and seeing the voltage change is a hobby of mine. There is no way to do it while driving with a multimeter! When the voltage goes above or below a certain level, the LEDs light up in different colors. Devices like this are simple and easy to use.

Simply plug it in and it will work
5/5

You just need to plug it in, which is all that has to be done. It is easy to test a battery and its charging system with both digital readouts and Despite the many advantages, a small downside is that it takes up so much space that you can't leave it plugged in all the time, so you can't use a phone while it's plugged in.
