CR123/16340 portable DMM meter? Looking for pocketable DMM without leads

[tobrien]

so when I'm away from my apartment I definitely don't carry my Fluke 111. That being said, does anyone make a single piece unit that has a voltage level readout that may be specific to CR123s/16340s?

I have cottonpicker's magnetic lead voltage meter (the same thing seen here), but do yo guys know of something where perhaps a display is built into a small housing that doesn't have separate leads that'll read high(er) voltage cells like CR123/16340 batteries?

I'm not sure if these are made anywhere, but I'd love to have a small "box-like" unit that I can put a 16340-sized cell into and see the voltage level. I guess what I'm envisioning is like AW's "nano charger" but except I don't need charging capabilities and I want a self-powered display to show me the voltage from the cell.

Does anyone know of such a gadget?

U could buy an empty cell holder & tape or glue the Cottonpickers meter & leads inside.
Probably only take a few mins to slap together.

that's an excellent idea! got any tips for implementing this?

5min epoxy & electrical tape
If the holder doesn't come with springs or tabs then use a spring from an old dropin or something.
Or just use an old paint stiring stick or ruler & tape or glue the cotton pickers on there haha

^yep - that's pretty much the same as the Cottonpickers one minus the magnets
