Are There 3 Volt MultiMeters?

[TEH45]

Am in the market for a New Multimeter. Would like a multimeter that takes 2 1.5 Volt AA batteries instead of a 9 Volt one. Did a Google search using Key Words: 3 Volt MultiMeters Prices but got Nothing. Hope someone either has a 3 Volt MultiMeter or knows if they exist! Thanks

You may find an analogue meter that runs on 3 volts. I still use an analogue meter when working on cars while they are running.

Yes, we used to be issued with them for underground use in coal mine.

Just interested in why you don't want a 9v one.

You'll get limited capability with a 3V meter but if all you want to measure is VI and R then go for it. My meter (9V) also does capacitance, semiconductors (inc LEDs), frequency etc.

The 22-220A from RadioShack uses 1.5V

Sorry for the late response. Have been offline. Would like to thank everyone for your comments! My main use would be for DC (both single battery and packs). Am a real beginner so do not know which type (analogue or digital and various meter battery V is most accurate). Appreciate any recommendations and links to website testing this! Thanks again for your help!!!

Your being a beginner, pretty much any $10 multimeter would suffice, digital would be easier for you to read.
No reason for 3v supply meter in your request info.
