Volt Meter - 360 - 02-25-2021
Anyone have a favorite? Looked back at some old threads, but didn't see anyone mentioning anything recently.

I went with a Tacklife CM01A. The deciding factor for me was that it shows both AC and DC current. I used the DC current to trace a battery drain, worked really well.

I agree with Jon on several features. AC and DC is very useful in coach diagnostics. Big
Display is for old eyes. Ability to test capacitors is useful.
I forgot to add, I have the same meter, just in a different exterior case. Mine was branded Southwire, and I bought it at Lowe’s some years ago for twice the price Jon linked.

Perfect. Thanks a bunch!

Richard gave some excellent advice that I failed to note, I was able to fix my battery charger by replacing a 50 cent capacitor that tested bad.
