Note the voltage drop-power consumption of this device.

This device is mostly designed for the Radio Control (RC) car, plane, boat,
helicopter hobbyist. While it can take 50 amps this is for a source that
will be depleted in minutes, not hours.  All the current going in/out of
this device is connected with those 14 gauge wires, normally used for 15-20
A/H loads. This can be a good test device but I would only for limited
load/charging current currents.

I think I might have posted about these meters some time ago, I'm sure I
mentioned them to Mark D. I'm wondering if anyone has bought either of them
and if so what their thoughts are after some use.

I'm leaning towards buying the doc wattson model.
