DC Ammeter Recommendations

[///M5 2,833]

My battery keeps dying and I think I might have a parasitic draw. To simplify the troubleshooting process I would love to buy a DC ammeter that can measure 10mA to 500mA+. According to the M5 owners group 20-30mA at the off and settled position is normal. Since I am buying one it would be a cool tool to measure current going to my speaks as well. Anyone have recommendations on where/what to buy??

Most DMM's should be able to read up to a half amp of current in series...

Anything much over a couple amps and you're looking at clamp meters...

Ah, boo. Was looking for a clamp as it is super easy, but they seem to only measure down to 1 amp. Guess using a cheapo in series is what I will have to do.

Thanks for the help.
