More useful than a square wave output! :)
(Now I need one of those as well. :scared: )
PS: Do you think I should send one to Batteroo for their test lab?

That is the cheapest meter I see with battery tester ($3.7).
I just wonder where do you install the fuse as suggested:
Edit: Maybe the little spot below the screw on the right? - Looks like a diode sign.
Speaking of small meters, this one has a nicer (larger) display:
But otherwise it's has no battery testing.

The PCB trace goes up under the buzzer. I expect that's where it is. ;)
I like the way you can take the back off without stressing the wires going to the buzzer. A buzzer holder costs money, it's good to see they aren't cutting any corners. :popcorn:

They probably could get the complete piezo with the casing and leads cheaper than the cost of the bare piezo, the added mouldings in the case dies along with the 3 stakes or drops of glue and the 2 springs.

I just completed my detailed accuracy verification of the lower current readings. For an approximately 1 mA current reading I had the choice of 989.8 uA (1.01% low due to the 100.561 meter insertion resistance) or 1.0 mA. Yes, that's two digits, 10% error represented by the least significant digit. That's the best resolution possible just above 1 mA. The -1% uA error continued down to around 200 uA. When the reading was corrected for the added resistance, the uA accuracy was typically below 0.1%.
The DC voltage reading accuracy was typically 0.06% The resistance reading accuracy was typically below 0.3%. Most of my resistors used for accuracy verification were rated at 0.01% accuracy.
More tests tomorrow.

I got slightly better results from mine.
In uA, the error varied between -0.25% and -0.47%.
In mA, mine met the 1.5% spec. The worst error was at 5mA, where I got 4%, but of course, 1 count is 2% at 5mA. Factor in the "3 counts" part of the specification, and 5.2 is indeed OK for 5.0mA. Elsewhere, it was comfortably within 1%.
Down at the sub-10mA end of the scale, the voltages from the 0.01 ohm shunt are tiny, resulting in 10uV per milliamp - so they're really taking advantage of the high voltage resolution/sensitivity to achieve this. The AN8002 certainly does better in the 1-10mA range, but of course lacks uA.
Personally, I would have preferred it if they'd not bothered with the square wave output, and used the switch position for mA, with a different shunt.
