Hello
I want to purchase two DROK® Digital Multimeter DC 6.5-100V 20A Voltage Amperage Power Energy Meter DC Volt Amp Testing Gauge Monitor LCD Blue Backlight Digital Display with Built-in Shunt to check the voltage of my leisure batteries in my motorhome.
what I do not understand { not being electrically minded } is do I have to connect the load wires and if so to what to.
my situation I have two leisure batteries and they are connected in parallel I need to keep an eye on the voltage drop to make sure they do not drop below 11.5 volts otherwise the batteries will die and to enable me to charge them and keep an eye on the charge
is this the correct product
I do a lot of wild camping
regards Paul

Hello Paul F,
Thank you for writing in.
If you just want to use this meter to monitor the voltage of the battery, you do not need to connect the load wires, just connect the battery to the DC IN.
And if the batteries are connected in parallel, one meter is ok, no need to meter.
Hope this can help you.
Best regards
