<DIV>Or if you want data quick and easy, the AstroFlight Whattmeter provides
a direct readouts up to 100 amps, 60volts, 6,000 watts. Also shows
the</DIV>
<DIV>amps put in during charge. It does not have an internal battery,
it needs at least 4 volts from the battery under test/charge.</DIV>

<BR>> Let's see: amps times volts equals watts for DC circuits. So, if
you <BR>> know the source voltage (with a voltmeter) and the current
(using an <BR>> ammeter), you can determine watts. I use a digital

amps. It appears <BR>> to be very accurate (compared with sophisticated
bench measurement <BR>> devices) and costs less than $49.95
(occasionally $39.95 on sale). <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Ron Van Putte
