Charger Docter - USB Voltage and Current Meter (2A6 USB Docter single)
Use the USB Charger Doctor to measure the working voltage and current output for any USB port and project. This plastic dongle plugs between a USB device, and passes the data lines through. There's a 0.05 ohm resistor in line with the power pin that is used to measure current draw. The Doctor's digital display instantly reads the numbers out for testing devices such as chargers, cables, and cell phones.
You can use this device from 3.5-7VDC input voltage (although most USB devices tend to hover around 4.75 to 5.25) and up to 3A of current. It flips between voltage and current readouts every 3 seconds or so. It's a very handy tool for testing USB devices, checking load levels and debugging battery chargers and boost converters.

150A High Precision DC Watt Meter And Power Analyzer (DC Power analyzer)
Examples of Uses:
How Much Power Does my Fridge Use - with the Battery connected to the SOURCE side and Car Fridge (or other accessory) connected to the LOAD side. The Watt Meter shows the current into the Fridge, voltage and power at the battery and accumulates the Ah and Wh while the fridge is running.
How much charge is going into my battery - With a battery charger (or alternator) connected to the SOURCE side and the aux battery connected to the LOAD side, the Watt Meter shows the charging current into the battery, the voltage and charging power at the battery and accumulates the charge (Ah) and energy (Wh) into the battery.
What is the output of my solar panel - With a solar panel connected to the SOURCE side and solar regulator connected to the LOAD side, the Watt Meter shows the charging current into the regulator, the voltage and charging power at the solar panel and accumulates the charge (Ah) and energy (Wh) into the regulator.
How much charge is my solar panel putting into my battery - Now with a solar regulator connected to the SOURCE side and battery connected to the LOAD side, the Watt Meter shows the charging current into the battery, the voltage and charging power at the regulator and accumulates the charge (Ah) and energy (Wh) into the battery.

FAQ
Why is the test data wrong? Voltage * Current = Power, But power is less than the actual test voltage * Current, Why is that?
Answer: There are three types of power:
Active Power (P represents / unit W)
Reactive power (Q represents / unit Var)
Apparent power (S represents / unit VA)
Here we only talk about Active Power, for others, please google it:
P = U * I * cosφ, cosφ it represents the power factor, purely resistive load (Such as incandescent, heater, etc.) the power factor is generally close to 1,Between the inductive and capacitive load load power factor 0-1. So purely resistive load test time, P is substantially equal to or close to U * I. When Inductive or capacitive load test (Such as refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, computers, etc.) P<U*I, As for how much to keep the power factor related to the specific, Different for each appliance power factor.

Here we only talk about Active Power, for others, please google it:
P = U * I * cosφ, cosφ it represents the power factor, purely resistive load (Such as incandescent, heater, etc.) the power factor is generally close to 1,Between the inductive and capacitive load load power factor 0-1. So purely resistive load test time, P is substantially equal to or close to U * I. When Inductive or capacitive load test (Such as refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, computers, etc.) P<U*I, As for how much to keep the power factor related to the specific, Different for each appliance power factor.
