Hi all

I took my car to the garage the other day as the battery warning light had flashed on. They checked it and said battery and alternator was A OK! I would like to be able to test this myself in the future.

To check whether the alternator is charging the battery i guess all i need a multimeter? Can someone recommend one? Maybe link to ******s would be good.

Also what sort of current should someone check for? And how can you tell how much charge your battery has?

Many thanks
