A multimeter will find many uses around the house - for example testing typical 1.5 volt (like AA batteries, AAA batteries, C batteries, and D batteries) and 9 volt batteries.
In this video we show how to test your car battery and the car's battery charging system so that you have a good picture of the health of the car battery.
The NCV or non-contact voltage indicator is a very handy tool to make you aware of hidden electrical lines that can be detected with the NCV feature on the multimeter.
And as tools of all kinds move increasingly toward battery power, you can use this multimeter to keep tabs on the health of all the different tools.
And continuity can also be tested on a variety of items such as light bulbs and water heater heating elements to help diagnose potential issues.
Multi-meters have many other features. But the typical DIY'er can find just these basic uses of the multimeter quite helpful as they learn those other features over time.

Hey Lori,
Yes -they are nice to have around. Cost for this model is $30-40 . Other kinds can be cheaper or more expensive - depends on brand, features and model.
Thx for watching!
Well, good explanation; however, to get the correct reading on batteries, you need to put them on load.
Hey Zakariah,
Thanks for the tip and thx for watching!
Great video, very useful. Thanks for sharing knowledge my friends. God bless you and your family and business. I’m learning a little here and there. We are in the proses of building a church and since we, my wife and I, are paying for everything, will have to do something my self. Pray for us all of you that watch this video and believe God can help and guide us. After gone to a rare type of cancer my self, decided to do something for our Lord and Savior Jesus. God bless our Great America!!!
Hey Ricardo,
Blessings on your work - cool you are building a church. Just Awesome!
this is a great and valuable video but why don't u allow the save function so I can add it to a playlist? not cool brother
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMh) RECHARGEABLE. batteries will measure 1.2 volts when fully charged.
Hey John,
Good point. Thx for watching.
And I meant to ask, how much does it cost?
to test a battery you use a battery tester that places a resistor load. DMM is not 100% useful for batts.
Good vid.
Hey dicko,
Thx for the comment and for watching!
KAIWEETS is a dangerous disaster all around, and this particular review starts with a trivial aside, always the sign of a bad teacher, even failing to tell you the temperature sampler uses dedicated wires not used for any other work. Just awful. Btw, the margin of error for the temperature gauge is substantial, and goes unmentioned here. Of course.
Good teaching always begins with an overview of the material, the context, and the main subjects or features. This is not good teaching.
The manual is outright dangerous to novices. It's full of typos, errors, and omissions. The translation is laughably bad. The icons are bizarre. "Hz%"? Seen that around a lot?
4:00 - good god. 1.35 Volts isn't remotely "dead." On older multimeters, 1.35V puts you comfortably in the green. It's 90% of a full, 1.50V charge.
