That one ady linked looks perfect Brian, search over. Don’t worry about instructions, just pop round and we’ll go through it. 8)

I know that you said inexpensive and I guess this isn’t but it depends on what you are comparing to. This is a great budget way into a genuine Fluke, albeit a china market only one…

I suggested a fluke, or a megger, but you are talking big bucks, just to check cell voltage and current draw….

Thanks folks,saves me a few quid indeed.Looks as ya say,perfect for whats required.

But that’s a budget Fluke and still seems to have most of the features a normal low end fluke has.
I’ve been using a pair of 435s recently to monitor 3ph input and output transients, that was pretty cool, think the company paid around 10k for the pair with all the accessories I needed :open_mouth: figured they might notice if I didn’t hand them back tho lol

Yep, looks a good meter, I agree, your company may notice if ten grand of equipment goes missing, shame :bigsmile:
