Provided is an electrical test device having multi-meter functionality and being adapted to provide current sourcing to an electrical system for selective measurement of a plurality of parameters. The electrical test device comprises a conductor probe element, a power supply, a processor and a display device. The power supply is interconnected between an external power source and a probe element. The processor is connected to the probe element and is configured to provide an input signal to the electrical system and receive an output signal in response thereto. The output signal is representative of at least one of the parameters of the electrical system. The display device is configured to display reading the output signal which is representative of the parameter. The electrical device is configured to allow for selective powering of the electrical system upon energization of the probe element during measurement of the parameters.
A vehicle battery electrical system tester with a hand-held remote control can include a vehicle battery electrical system tester with a radio frequency transceiver and a remote control unit with a radio frequency transceiver. Preferably, the vehicle battery electrical system tester and the remote control unit both include a radio frequency integrated circuit transceiver microchip. In addition, each can include a microcontroller coupled to the transceiver to control the transceiver. Furthermore, each can include an antenna, preferably an integrated circuit antenna. The remote control unit can include a visual display device, such as an LCD display, and an input device, such as a keypad.
