I’m halfway convinced the Klein and Southwire meters are made in the same place.

And what’s wrong with the Klein? Is it supposed to be either $25 Aliexpress meter if you’re poor otherwise you NEED a Fluke? I haven’t had any issues with either of them, and I’ll buy a damn Fluke one day when I actually understand what I’m doing with the things. When I bought the Klein, I thought you could measure the amps going through a circuit by sticking the + lead on the + terminal of the battery and the - lead on the - terminal. I learned from my mistakes after a couple blown fuses.

Welp, it’s darker outside than it is on my workbench, but the sun definitely has some more juice to it. Partly cloudy, dawn, and on the west side of the house so it’s shady and this is what I got.

Solar panels were reading 8V-9V with nothing attached. That still seems like a big drop considering no battery or light hooked up.
