Hand Held Multimeter

[Toepopper]

Here is an inexpensive tool/insturment to store in your faraday cage that will be in demand to check solar panel or pelton wheel voltages when connecting this equipment . It will eliminate guesswork and tell you the condition of your 12 volt battery when the CB quits working. Mine cost $29 at Radio Shack and I also picked up a box of spare fuses for it. The small handheld model measures AC generator or grid current as well as DC voltage in a battery bank.

They are auctioning the expensive multimeters off in lots of 18 or 30 on the government liquidations website. I have been tempted to buy a lot of them but not sure what I would do with the other 17.
