Simple volt tester for feeder batteries?

[mikemorvan]

What is the simplest, most brain dead for electrical idiots, volt tester to buy, to take to the field and check battery strength on 12v feeder batteries?

Thanks in advance. Mike.

A cheap multimeter from Walmart. You can call me and I'll tell you how to use it if you can't understand the directions.

Harbor Freight multimeter.....cheap, small and I've had one for 8-9 years at my lease. Turn knob to DCV 20 and leave it. Flip the on off switch in the middle when you want to use it. Runs off a 9 volt. Some times they give them away for free with a purchase. I know how to use a multimeter and have a good one but its just easy to have a smaller compact one to leave at the cabin to use for that purpose.

X2 on Harbor Freight and I’m pretty sure you can get 2 maybe 3 different ones for under $20

This ^^^^. I'll look when I get home. I've probably got a couple of the freebies. If so, I'll send you one.

HCR makes the easy tester to use 6 or 12 volt

This will do well. I taught High School Automotive for several years. We purchased these for the students to learn with. 14-18y/o kids can and will destroy an anvil. For the cost they were great, and I was less mad when one was broken from ignorance.

As usual, thanks for all the info.
