i used to use a Gunstun (sp) car multi meter to do this, but since has stopped working.

At the moment i have the normal multimeter, but this cant check battery drains.



Cheers for any advise

why, doesn't it measure current?
cos if it's a multimeter it should do
just disconnect one of the battery terminals and put it in line. (just don't start it or draw a high current....)

 

Yeah my new one has current, but I've never tried it to be fair,

the old one had a setting on it, and the guage had good, bad and ok, along with a graph to say how long it would take to drian a full battery (also had different charts for different size battery's)


i'll try my one on my car in abit.

 

i've Tried it.

and it does work.

nothing on = 0.01 amps,
interior light on = 0.37 amps
side lights and ignition on = 14.0
