Default RE: Battery testing

ORIGINAL: jjboomer

It shows how to build a "load tester" using a multimeter and a lightbulb. I may do that, seems easy enough. But, it doesn't say how to setup the multimeter in order to run the test. I've never used the multimeter and the instruction booklet isn't very clear....do you turn the dial to the 20V setting then touch the red probe to the red wire on the batt and the black probe to the black wire?
Yes, but, you can not get an accurate reading without the load.
