Default RE: What leads for my voltmeter?

dkf1979,
That meter is only good for testing batteries. Why not by a VOM that will test DC, AC and resistance. I got mine from Radio Shack for $19.95. It is small, digital, bright yellow, and uses the dual banana connectors.
With this you can make up all of the different leads you need. In order to put a load on my batteries I put two 47 ohm, 1 watt, resistors on a dual banana plug, net is 23 ohms 2 watts. When I want to load the battery I just plug it on top of the plug with the leads.
This is much more versatile and I do use it for a lot of other things, even in this hobby.
