Yes and no. All versions of this product I've seen read current in the 
NEGATIVE lead. That's fine of the unit is in series with the battery, 
but it will yield VERY WRONG data if inserted in series with equipment 
in a station.

At the Visalia DX Convention last spring, I found the Hamsource EZ Meter 
II, which reads current in the POSITIVE lead, and yields good data for 
individual equipment items in a station.

It does NOT read Ah.
