How do you connect a voltmeter gauge to a battery/car correctly???

Question

I just would like to know the correct way about it. Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

Turn on the voltmeter and set it to DC volts to the 20 dial and then connect red probe to red battery connector and black probe to ground any metal part on the car that is not painted or the black connector on the battery.

Answer 2

Like was said, red on the + terminal and black on the - terminal. But why? I'm going to guess you want to check to see if your battery is charging right? Easy way is to check battery volts with the car off, then compare it to the battery volts with the engine running. If its higher when running, your charging systems is functioning.

Answer 3

Red probe to positive post,black probe to negative post.Turn volt meter to dc volts on a 20 volt scale.

Answer 4

You connect each voltmeter lead to each of the battery terminals!

Answer 5

connect the positive to the + sign and - the negative to the - sign

if your meter has voltage options: select minimum voltage of 20 volts dc or less.

safety; never smoke or arc around the battery

Answer 6
