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.
I tried it this way, but the wires running from the battery (RX) got VERY hot VERY fast without giving me a reading on the multimeter. I'm just trying to figure out how to work this thing first.....THAT couldn't have been the best way! Any other takers?
