Re: Peak ESR Meter wrong values HELP
One of the crocodile clips on mine is a little warped.
If it starts measuring then slips off, it seems to get confused and keeps trying to measure. I just turn it off and on again, works fine for me. I was thinking about the possibility of hooking it up to a 12v PSU and removing the battery. |

Re: Peak ESR Meter wrong values HELP
I have the old Dick Smith / Bob Parker type ESR meter with banana plugs so I can change leads without any trouble.
Not being able to switch between a pointed probe and clip of some kind would drive me nuts. You might consider snipping off those clips and installing some in-line banana plug jacks. .

Re: Peak ESR Meter wrong values HELP
With the Peak meter, you need clips.
The meter does not continuously run & monitor what's touching the probes, it starts, tests and gives a result - you have to keep pressing the on button to get it to test. I don't have 3 hands, so probes won't work  |

Re: Peak ESR Meter wrong values HELP
Don't do much checking on solder pads that way.
I usually use some of these. They make better contact than most gator clips. . |
