How To Measure Battery With Multimeter. Firstly take a multimeter and place it on the table. Second we will measure the current.
Because Analog multimeters are not suitable for measuring the voltage of batteries. Second we will measure the current. A fully charged battery should give out at least 126 volts so setting the dial to 20 volts is enough.
1 - Select the DC current function using the dial and keep it at 200mA since we know that the amperage of the battery will be around 100mAh.
Which unit would best suit to test the car battery with a multimeter depends on the size of battery. It is always best to do a parasitic draw test from the negative side so there is no chance of accidentally shorting should you test from the positive side. Thus it can either be measured in terms of amp-hours Ah or milliamp-hours mAh. Start by removing the negative side battery cable from your car battery this is the black one.
