[QUOTE="ttocs, post: 1055222, member: 11896"] the way you disconnected the battery and then inserted the meter inbetween the battery and the power wire is for measuring current. Current is abbreviated with an "I" and measured in amps so if you had it hooked up this way and measuring voltage you will get a strange number. Set the meter to read DC voltage <20v. Do NOT disconnect the battery and now simple touch the red lead to the + side of the battery, the black to the neg and now see what voltage it reads. [/QUOTE]
