I was going through a scrap box and came across this. Can it be used with a 12 volt system & if so would it give a reasonably accurate reading? Also if it can be used how do you connect it & to what?

Actually it depends. Most hobbs today can work on like 8-36 volts....Depends on what you have.<br /><br />All it takes is power and ground to connect it. Most people just connect it to "switched" positive.

The 24 volt Hobbs meters are used on aircraft, as their electrical systems are 24 volts.
