If you attempted to read the voltage across a car battery with the multimeter accidentally in ammeter mode?

A multimeter when used on voltage, has a very high resistance/impedance to limit the current flowing through it. However when you set it to read current, it has a very small resistance to encourage the current to flow through the metre so can be measured. So ig you put a multimeter across a voltage source (in parrallel) when its set to current, you will normally destroy the metre. Although more expensive metres will have a fuse to protect the instrument should this occur. Hope this helps Always switch back, should you do this on the mains, you can quite easily set the metre on fire!! CB Eng

How can you test a battery?
You can test a battery by using multimeter. Set the multimeter to the DC voltmeter setting and then place the leads of the multimeter across the leads of the battery. the multimeter will have a readout of the voltage.
How many volts takes multimeter?
In Digital multimeter we use 9V Dc battery.
How do you wire in the ammeter on a battery charger?

How do you test a battery in a Motorola cell phone?
Take the battery out and test it with a multimeter.
How do you tell if the multimeter battery is low?
Just replace the battery if you suspect it is low.
What happens when a bulb ammeter battery and switch are put connected together?
the bulb will glow and ammeter will show the reading
When an ammeter is connected in a circuit which terminal of the battery must be connected to the positive terminal of the ammeter?
The positive terminal of the battery would be connected to the positive terminal of the ammeter. The load would then be connected between the two negative terminals, positive side of the load being connected to the negative side of the ammeter.
What can you use to check the voltage of a battery?
Voltmeter or multimeter.
How do you wire a mooneyes ammeter gauge?
in a series battery, alternator, ignition
Does a multimeter give lower readings when the battery charge is low?
Yes
Why wont Pokemon Yellow save?
It probobly doesn't have enough battery. Take it to GameStop to get a new battery. ------ Pokemon Yellow doesn't have an internal clock battery, Gold And Silver do. There are glitches that stop Yellow from being able to save. If you've attempted these glitches or accidentally found them, that's why.
