sit in it with your meter hooked up to the bit your looking at,start it( or just turn it over with mags off) ,record,stop. i dont like big whirly things,you know it makes sense!!!!
i had 11.5 across battery cranking and only 6.5 across the starter to start with..
The charger is brilliant, and worked a treat! It works through a cycle to ensure the maximum capacity in the battery.John McGrath wrote:

drops on both positive and negative sides of the starter circuit whilst cranking the engine.be careful
tho'! big whirly thing and multimeter to look at....
