![]() ![]() If you are looking to test for amperage draw (parasitic draw) – testing amps in series – we cover that process in this guide. This is achieved by measuring the DC voltage of the battery in parallel with the multimeter. Here, we check the charge, or voltage, of your car battery. To perform this test, I used a special set of test leads from my Amp Hound 2 Tester set. A scope can give you an idea of how long the draw existed. In this case, however, I preferred to use a lab scope. If you’re going to use a meter for this test, make sure you install a fresh battery each time. This will prevent most meters from going to sleep. Color-coded voltage meter for easy reading. ![]() Also tests starter motor for excessive draw. Test complete charging system including alternator, regulator, and battery. ![]() This load tester takes the guesswork out of electrical diagnosis, making it easy to pinpoint charging system failures. ![]()
