Is there a simple & cheap meter that I can plug in between an appliance and an inverter to really see what is being drained from my leisure batteries?
It needs to be plug-in because I'm not technically adept to do wiring
For example, I've just acquired a swamp cooler which is 240v rated at 60w.
But we all know 60w isn't 60w, just an average over an undefined period
I have a 300w pure sine wave inverter.
I just want to know what an appliance, such as the swamp fan, actually takes from my batteries - and so know how long I can realistically run such a device without depleting my batteries beyond safe limits.
