[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1436077, member: 3187"] Not totally convinced it's sorted, I am suspicious of the battery. Started again this morning, but voltmeter dropped to 8.8 during the start, very low. [URL="https://atrophy.lock.net/pi/20210211_Flatbattery/IMG_6405.mp4"][IMG]https://atrophy.lock.net/pi/20210211_Flatbattery/tmp/1_IMG_6405.jpg[/IMG][/URL] As for the meter, it has served me well for a few years, but I dislike the power button. You can't just throw it into the sidecase with other junk without risking it turning on and flattening its battery. It does seem very accurate, when I was working I was able to compare it with a traceable standard, on dc voltage it was spot on. I seem to remember you posting about your Matchless a few years ago. Hope you get to ride it (weather permitting, of course, heated gear isn't designed for 6 volts, even if the bike's generator could provide the current). [/QUOTE]
