The Fluke clamp meter I linked was 2% +/-5 counts for current, 1% +/-5 counts for DC voltage. It would seem 1% is barely good enough for lead-acid batteries, because we want to fully charge them. For LiFePO4 people might think they want better accuracy, but maybe balanced to 3.65V and operated to 3.4V it doesn''t really matter there either.
Customer ServiceNotes on battery volts: To measure the battery voltage, the multimeter should be switched to "volts." One probe should go to the + terminal and the other probe to the minus terminal (as shown on page 2 of this note).
Customer ServiceTo obtain the most accurate battery voltage, follow the steps below and watch the meter for several minutes to see if there is a noticeable decrease in the battery voltage.

Customer ServiceSo I had left the battery removed over the weekend, and checked the voltage at the jumper terminals under the hood just now, and no voltage. I plugged the battery back in under the seat, and checked again, and it now had 1.4v again. It drops down fairly quickly over a few minutes by about 0.1v per minute. But before, when the battery

Customer ServiceIn Arduino Mega, I have implemented a voltage meter for a 3.7v Li-Ion battery which is unstable because the ADC fluctuates between 150-154. How can I avoid this
Customer ServiceThe margin of error for a digital multimeter is typically ±0.5%. This means that if your multimeter reads 10 volts, the actual voltage could be anywhere between 9.95 volts and 10.05 volts. Analog multimeters have a larger margin of error, typically ±3%.
Customer ServiceIn Arduino Mega, I have implemented a voltage meter for a 3.7v Li-Ion battery which is unstable because the ADC fluctuates between 150-154. How can I avoid this fluctuation? Just averaging the readings? Tried using 0.1uF capacitors between analog port A6 and GND, and between the 5V pin and GND, but no change observed. Thank you!
Customer ServiceI limit the current to less than 1/10th of the rated capacity of the battery (about 200mA in your case), and I charge about 10 minutes and monitor the voltage using a voltmeter. If the voltage is not high enough after 10 minutes, I''ll continue to charge as long as the measured voltage at rest is increasing. I''ll set the voltage to something low

Customer ServiceMeasure the voltage at the battery by placing the black lead of the voltmeter on the negative battery terminal and the red lead of the voltmeter on the positive battery terminal. • If the reading is within 0.5 volts of the Step 2 results, the charging system power and ground are within specifications. Proceed to Step 6.
Customer Service1. Turn on the digital multimeter and turn the switch to the correct voltage limit. Since we are testing battery voltage levels of not greater than 20V d.c., the switch is set to this limit. Connect the red positive probe to the positive end of the battery, and the black negative probe to the negative end of the battery.

The battery is effectively disconnected and Service Battery Missing will display on keypads assigned to Area 1. The report will send to the monitoring station if programmed. When no battery, or one with less than 10.0Vdc under load, is connected the charge voltage read across terminals 4 and 5 will decrease to 0Vdc.
