Review on ⚡ Lisle 64970 Parasitic Drain Tester: Detect and Solve Battery Drain Issues with Ease by Steve Yang

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The device is connected correctly.

I just wanted to leave a review because I saw some reviews that said it was "wrongly connected" because the switch just shorted the wires. That's what the switch is for. This will prevent current from flowing through your meter when you first plug it in, and the current will surge when everything first wakes up. Leave it for about 30 minutes and then turn on the meter and remove the short circuit (turn off) so that flow begins to flow through the meter without disconnecting and starting again. The assessment is that I continue to have problems with inaccurate readings and internal communication losses. Badly done in my opinion. I actually somehow blew a 20A fuse on my meter without blowing either the 7.5A or 10A in-line fuse on the meter. I'm on my 3rd change.
