Subject: RE: volt/amp meter....
If you are just using the multi meter to check your batteries
then  any that will read to 1/10 vdc should be just fine.
As I said earlier mine is very nice for this usage and was only
$29  at Home Depot and is Digital.

If you have other needs beyond checking batteries then perhaps
you already know what is more suitable.

Also I think that most on this list would not know how to adjust
a analog multi meter.

Hence the Digital Easy to use, reasonably accurate, and  low cost.

I suspest that all you EE's and ET's already have Flukes.
I have one of the small (analog) Klukes, but for Caving I use the
Digital because it is  a fast and easy read.


KISS
