Going to do the quick charge test. But have never used multi before. So when you stop laughing, could someone tell me where to place the switch and which 2 holes to plug into ?

Plug the red wire into the V/Ohm/mA and the bkac wire into the block hole.
Put your switch on the 20v oneCowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

Certainly. I'm guessing that by 'quick charge test' you mean checking for voltage across the battery.
Red meter lead - V/Ω/mA
Black meter lead - COM
Dial to the '20' range in the section with the 'V' wih straight and dotted lines above it (DC Volts).

Hi,
The "V" range in the upper left quadrant is for DC voltage. The "V" in the upper right quadrant is for AC voltage. The "A" range is for amperage (current). When you test hi amperage values (there won't be any on a motorcycle) use the 10A hole at the bottom for the red test lead. The "COM" hole is for the black lead (usually ground).
The "Ω" symbol is for ohms (resistance).
Those numbers you see are the ranges, the maximum value for that setting. In other words, if you have the selector on the 2K ohms range and it reads "OL" (or some other display that let's you know your out of range), then move the selector to the next higher range and re-measure.
Didn't you get a manual with that device?
Thank you for your indulgence,

There are lots of tutorials, such as this generic one:
You might also Google for the exact manual, I did find that meter advertised.Comment

It did come with a little sheet of paper, which was as clear as mud. However your explanations are very clear. Thankyou. I will post my results on my battery thread.Old age and treachery will beat youth and skill every time1983 GS 750

Note that virtually ALL of the testing you are likely to do on your bike will have you plugging the black lead into the center COM hole and the red lead into the right V/Ω/mA hole.Originally posted by Joe Nardy View Post

Yes that is what I am doing, as I said I was switching threads to my "Looking for someone who knows batteries" thread.Old age and treachery will beat youth and skill every time1983 GS 750
