    You've got both? The voltmeter is simple and safe - I connected mine to the cigarette lighter + & - leads so it's "alive" in position I or II of the switch. There was a thread some months ago about ammeter pros and cons and the consensus was that it won't tell you anything meaningful beyond what you'll learn from the voltmeter and is a lot more hassle and potentially dangerous. (a lot of extra high-current wiring is required).
