Is there a way to calibrate these things or you simply have to take some error margin into account when dealin with non-pro meters?

Try this thread for voltage calibration.

*Help!* Crazy Tailcap Readings...Excel XL830L

Hi, my XL830L was reading very low…. .8A for a tailcap reading on an XML2 C12…so I went to Radio Shack and spent nearly as much as the meter cost for banana plugs and made my own leads with good wire (maybe 12 or 14 gauge). NOW it’s reading as high as 5A with an AW IMR battery! With a Sanyo 2600 it’s about 3.39A. Does any of this make sense? I read somewhere that with a low battery you might get high readings so I put a new battery in there, same thing. Thanks! Alan
