$20 'ALDI SUPERMARKET' Digital Multimeter (Ferrex Brand)

Can a $20 Digital Multimeter bought from a Supermarket actually be any good?

Thanks Dave, went and picked one up. On special so great value. The included manual is quite helpful for the “I have no idea” team.

Thanks Marty - I am a member of that same team! Cheers Dave

BATT is used to test external 1.5 and 9V batteries underload.

[@TreeChangeFarmer]

Thank you for clarifying that. I should have read the manual better! Cheers Dave.

My trusty Fluke 75 is still going strong after 40 years. It did cost about 150 GBP but i think that's good value for money.

It looks like what they sell at Harbor freight in the US.

Crikey, one of my Flukes cost eighty times the price of that (a logging one). I still use the cheap ones more often.

Aldi in California is great!

How do I set one up to test two side buy side 12v 7Ah battery’s in electric powered car

Plus you can use you new probes and battery on the old multimeter 👍

[@TreeChangeFarmer]

Yes indeed. I will keep the old one as a backup. Cheers Dave.
