I have seen a few threads here about Multimeter recommendations and accuracy, but have not seen anyone recommend a Fluke...probably because of the cost and the fact for our general needs the cheapo flea bay style meters do well enough.
But if I want a good accurate meter to help calibrate the iCharger/Celllog etc for checking cell balance, what Fluke (or other quality meter) to go for?
I have been looking at these
http://www.fluke.com/fluke/uken/Digital-Multimeters/Fluke-289.htm?PID=56061
But was wondering about the accuracy..not sure I am reading the spec correctly
Regarding the DC voltage accuracy
Voltage DC Accuracy 0.025 %
Range and Resolution 50.000 mV,500.00 mV, 5.0000 V, 50.000 V, 500.00 V, 1000.0V
those are the figures from the Fluke website...so 5 volts at 0.025% accuracy so that is to within 1.25mV accuracy in he 5 volt range? correct?
Gotta be good enough for cell balancing surely..but is it worth paying the extra for one of these over a cheap $30 meter from Harbour Freight/ Canadian Tyre/Halfords/Sealey etc etc
Anyone else got any other recommendations for quality meter?
