What Voltmeter to buy? Need reply today...

Some say that I need a Voltmeter, so I will buy one.
Can somebody tell me what Voltmeter on this site that is good: http://www.gearbest.com/digital-voltmeter-_gear/
The price has to be $40 or less.

Never heard of any of the brands on the GearBest website, so I can't help you with the brand.

What are you going to use the VOM for? If you're planning on verifying battery voltage, before and after charging, just about any meter you can purchase can do that, the question is how much accuracy do you need? A VOM that has the ability to measure to .01 volt is more than enough to measure batteries.

I did go for the HYELEC MS86 Multifunctional Digital Voltmeter / Ammeter / Ohmmeter / Thermometer / C meter and Duty Cycle Tester -. All I need to do is to verify battery voltage yes. But then I have a thing I can do much with, maybe one day a need one of the other functions...

The discount is Discount : 57% off you're making a good deal there :naughty:

Actually I have a Gearbest.com code (no I will not share it) that gave me $3 dollar off that again.

I have a cheap digital meter which I use to measure the voltage of my cells. However it samples the voltage too infrequently with the result it presents a stuttering voltage as the cell voltage starts to drop while being measured.

I wonder if a more sophisticated digital meter would make it easier to see what the voltage is?

I got a really cheap voltmeter today just to wait for the more advanced I ordered, it's digital, but it was the cheapest they had in the store. And it works perfect.

Using a DMM to check the voltage of a battery, shouldn't cause the battery to drop voltage. There's no current flowing. I think your DMM is just crap. A $10 hardware store DMM should do a better job.
