How To Test A Battery With Multimeter. The first test with your multimeter will measure DC voltage indicated with a solid line and a dashed line above a letter V. Set the dial to 20 which will allow you to accurately measure between 0-20 Volts.
Turn the vehicles key to the run position and check the multimeter. In Part 2 we will measure the current of the battery. Learn how to test a battery.
The multimeter battery test function allows you to measure a batterys potential.
1 - Select the DC current function using the dial and keep it at 200mA since we know that the amperage of the battery will be around 100mAh. Check your Multimeters reading. Now get the red probe and let that make contact with the cable terminal linked to the same battery post. Set the dial to 20 which will allow you to accurately measure between 0-20 Volts.
