I recently purchased a multimeter and have watched about 4-5 youtube videos on how use them. I am trying to figure out the voltage/current/power of my magneto (hand cranked). I figured out the battery tester function really quickly but found that my magneto didn't run DC current. So I switched it to the A- (something like that) to check it on the m side (not sure what the symbols mean). I tried it on 20m and got the highest reading at 19. I then tried it at 200m and got 26.0 assuming back to math class it seems to have a spike at 26m what does this mean? And if I need it to power two lights (one bright like night light 7w-ish, and one bright led) what lights do you recommend? Thanks you very much for your time.
apparently from the videos on youtube the - sign denotes I have the testers switched. Seems to be AC current.
