Default Re: Easy way to measure battery supply current.

Now that I have a decent variable-voltage power supply with variable current limit and twin meters, I tend to use that. However, in the field the current probe described is a great idea. I first saw it mentioned in 'Sprat' magazine back in the 1980s but it probably originated long before then!
