Default RE: DIY Loaded Voltmeter Help

If your voltmeter has the standard 3/4" jacks for the test leads, just get a dual banana plug (stackable) as in the attached picture. Then place your load resistors across the banana plug, tighten the set screws, plug it into your voltmeter and plug your test leads into the jacks on the plug. Voila, a loaded voltmeter. Actually the load is on the battery and your voltmeter is just reading the voltage across the load...........RJ
