Not sure what you mean by "unloaded" in this context, Bumper.


Dan, That's the way my meter is connected as well, "across the bus" and so reads the voltage of whichever battery is connected. What I meant by "unloaded" is also as you describe . . . you can read each battery with no additional load on it if desired. The point being that to use the voltage function of say a Becker radio, the radio has to be turned on to view the voltage and so it applying at least standby current load to the battery.
