    You guys are way ahead of me on the way you apply a EMeter to your
needs.  If you are refering to the  ( was Cuising Equiptment ) Link 10  Iv'e
installed them on 12vdc boat house banks for years.  They just try to take a
sampling of what info they can get every % of a second - then attempt to
evaluate and then give a reading.  In my opinion : volts OK but would wish
to see .01's insread of .05's, amps good , amp hours = chancy at best.

Sure are alot better than nothing and analog gauges!
