Could my volt meter drain my battery over night?


Recommended Posts

I have my volt meter wired to the power on my sub amp and I noticed it never turns off could this small amount of power drain a battery ?

Eventually it could I guess. It draws such a small amount of power that it would probably be ok on a daily driver. On a vehicle in storage for months, maybe not a good idea. What voltage does it read after sitting overnight?

Check your voltage one night and then check it in the morning see what the drop is better be no more then half a volt even that might be to much.

IIRC most volt meters draw around 50ma. That shouldn't be enough to hurt you, but if you car's going to be sitting for more than 3-4 days I'd unplug it

If you're concerned about it you can wire in a transistor or a relay to switch it on and off with the ignition
