Voltage Meter Reading
using my Sperry 350 meter to get a reading on my trailer battery and got a number of about 19.20. Tried it on my car battery and got one around 19.65. What am I doing wrong to get these readings instead of around the 12.6 reading I should be seeing? Do I need to unhook the battery terminals? Could a bad battery in the meter be causing this?

Welcome to the forums.
Are you using a DC setting ? Use the 20vDC position. Use COM and V ports.

Most but not all meters will show low battery on display when the battery csan no longer provide a correct reading.
