Hi everyone, sorry for the stupid question,
How do you check DC Amp coming in or out of my battery pack of 4x272ah Lisan cells from Basen using Klein clamp meter?
I try to clamp either the black or red cable when charge and discharge but always show 0 on the clamp metter. I saw Will do it on his channel all the time and his Klein tool very similar to mine. I tried all the setting on the knob. Please advise, thank you!
Example from Will's vid:
(at 7:21)
 
Clamp-on the Neg line that is going OUT to power your devices. You need to be on DC and of course, it should be zeroed before you clamp onto a cable.
 
Return your clamp meter and buy the Klein CL900.

Reads AC and DC
Reads higher voltage.
Reads in rush current
Not much more money

Oh, and get the temperature probe
