How do I check voltage of an inverter?

[lived666]

Take the more expensive multimeter of the two as it can measure up to 10 Amp while the cheaper one only 2 Amp. You might later want to test a circuit with higher amperage.

Never try to test your 12 V inverter with 24 V as you have thought of doing above as you will at least blow a fuze or the complete inverter.

As told by many other posters, rather get someone with knowledge as you are looking for trouble if you don't even know how to connect batteries in series or parallel.

No, parallel is easy, it series I'm not sure

I watched the video, I have 30 minutes of knowledge on how to to stick in a multimeter, I'm good to go now!!

Ok, so found someone that repairs inverters so going to drop it off for a quote:

Its a tad expensive R399 just to look, but meh, would probably have to take it somewhere anyhow and this way I don't end up crispy:wtf:

Perhaps put on thick rubber gloves before being intimate after the good wife has tested things ?

I will be very cautious, I will ask my wife to plug in the thingys
