[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1313903, member: 277"] That may not be entirely true. Under different operating conditions there was often a significant discrepancy between what my Datel read for voltage and what my DMM showed when they both were directly across my battery terminals. I have put an O'scope on my Gen I and found a lot of 'noise' on the +12 volt line. Different meters deal with the noise in different ways resulting in different readings, this is one time where an old school needle type meter may actually provide a more accurate reading.(1) I would very much like to have a chance to put an O'scope on a few electrical systems to see what is truly going on. (1) Since it's Friday I'll spare y'all a long, dry, boring explanation of why :) [/QUOTE]
