| Is there a DC clamp meter with amp-hour counting? |

Hi, I often need to check a capacity of a battery during charge or discharge. It's very convenient to use a clamp meter to measure the DC current, because there's no need to break the existing wiring. But to measure the amount of energy I need to multiply the DC current by the time passed, and if the DC current changes over time, this becomes a hard task. Is there a clamp meter model that can do the calculation of amp-hours automatically? |

"coulomb counter" But if it's attached to monitor continuously what's the value in a clamp? All the normal coulomb counters I'm familiar with use a current shunt resistor. |

Yes it's "coulomb counter", thank you for suggesting the correct term. Sorry I didn't get your question, I basically need to count the amount of energy flowing through a wire in some period of time without modifying the circuit (i.e. shunts don't work for me). So I thought a clamp meter with a counter (integration option) would work the best for me. |

Thank you very much for the links, I have a couple of those devices, there are a few problems with them - they aren't technically clamps (I need to clamp to the existing wiring), their accuracy is quite bad, and they aren't really hand tools, i.e. they need housing, power supply etc. |
