Would this Voltage Meter be worth it?
Ive tried looking for reviews, does anyone know about this meter, or those that work like it? It seems simple and as long as it works reliably, I would be happy.
Just looking for a meter to check voltage drops and such on my electrical system.
Id like to see how much my amplifier is drawing in amps, but that is more of a bling thing... this will actually let me know if I am making enough power, and if my battery is going to be in trouble.
Thanks

that one just plugs into the cigarette lighter though so unless you've got one of those in every spot you want to check for a voltage drop its kind of useless. if you dont mind spending a little bit of money get a fluke DMM. fantastic meters.

true it only checks there, but wouldnt that give me a general idea of how many volts my car is using? I just want to get an idea to make sure that the alternator is always supplying enough energy to my car...

for that it'll work just fine. i thought you wanted to go down the path the power takes to look for drops.
