I bought this one from OSH (is that a southern california thing?). Runs off of a 9v. Checks voltage and ohms in selected ranges. It's been working great for months. I think it was about $30.
On units like this one, how do you set it to test a 3.7 volt?
Im inclined to get the simple one from marble vapors. I had one made by klein , the mm200 ? It jumped around, and I never got a steady reading, maybe it was my hands? But I thought I had it down and compared it to the little black carto/ atty ones and I was way off.
So, something like this would not work?

The big center dial is adjustable to test different ranges of volts and ohms. Basically, the dial moves the decimal point left or right as you turn it, dialing in what you're trying to measure. As it's pictured, it's set to test battery voltage for the batteries we use for vaping. Really easy to use, inexpensive and versitile.
I have the Radio Shack equivalent and it works just fine. Plenty accurate for ohm, volt and current measurements.
i have this but it does mot seem to have a 3.7 v setting
Guess i will have break down and get a multimeter.

Why not buy a good charger, with the display? Isn't that sufficient? I have tons of Flukes, etc.. I don't use them.

Well, I have a new-ish charger and it does 4 batteries. I it was older than a year , I might consider, but ...... I didnt really think I needed a meter but all this talk of battery care and over discharging started to make me think...... If any digital millimeter will work, I can get a cheapie for under 10.00
This is what I use to check batteries.....Sterno's Doohicky Check out post # 17. Its compact enough to fit in one of those plastic double 18650 batt cases (wires curled up).

That is basically what I posted above http://www.adafruit.com/products/460 Think I will get one of these, any idea how much the Doohicky is?
Just contacted Sterno, I rather give my money to a fellow member. The other one at that link is 7.99 and 4 for shipping.

On that note, what if one dropped a brand new battery and the skin of the battery got a tiny nick. Im real low on batteries at the moment and hate to dump it. Is there anything safe that one could cover the nick with? or is it a lost cause.
This is a "what if "
What if? You think the quotes helps? What if instead of you throwing away the battery like you should, you use that battery and it leads to a world changing series of events that spawns the next hyper super virus? What if that battery, when charged, irreversibly knocks out the world wide electrical grid? What if that battery causes some sort of negative butterfly effect causing the next pope to become the next Hitler? What if you visit the Cern Super Collider with that battery and it causes the collider to malfunction, turning the earth a black hole? Are you really willing to risk BILLIONS of lives because you didn't want to spend another $10 on a battery? That's something for you to think about young lady.
If it was me, I'd just hit it with some e-tape and vape away. Armageddon be damned.
Oh my goodness!

I'm sorry but I beg to differ. With all due respect. I've used really cheap DMM's and also the carto/meters. The ones you screw the device on and it reads the ohms.
I've also compared this with a very nice expensive (at the time) Fluke 73 lll. There was up to a .6 ohm difference between cheap and good.
True it doesn't sound like much, but if you building sub-ohm things. .6 ohms is a huge difference between safe and dangerous.
LOL, you made my day.........Dont laugh all you's........I actually have to control myself NOT to think thoughts like that........
