power meters & chargers

i ALMOST went to sears to buy a power meter as that's about the only place i think i could get a digital meter seeing both the auto & battery stores i called didn't have them, but they start at $12 for ones i could get for half that on amazon, and i REALLY wanted to get one of these $16 meters instead.

when i checked to see if harbor freight had volt meters online, the only results i found were for mutimeters that start at $5. i've seen coupons for those that are free with purchase, but in maybe 1 out of 10 ads.

as it stands, i've been charging the battery for about 10 hours or more by now, and it's STILL in charging mode (under 80% charge) when the charger was saying it was at at least 80% the entire time i last charged it before hooking the new speakers up.

i'll try to see if i can find a coupon for a free multimeter. i already have 2 flashlights too many and don't need the scissors in the latest ad i saw, but i planned to go there to get a drill, some bits, solder & an iron anyways to build the system. $5 isn't a lot for a multimeter that might be useful for other things like maybe measuring amp output once i learn how to use it.

if i DID get the multimeter, it would help me test if a really nice battery tender "jump starting" charger i saw at a thrift shop works, but my experience has been electronics at goodwill NEVER work and they refuse to do "thanks for your money SUCKER!" refunds.
