Strange VOM Issue

I have an update. ......and it's a goodun. LOL Took the meter in today and one of my old coworkers graciously swapped it out. However, they don't offer the Bosch (Actron) any longer, they now have "Performance Tool". So, I get it home, and set it to the 200Vac scale and measure the house current. So I gots 183.4 volts AC comin into the house. LMAO Then, I took it out to the shop to measure Vixen's battery. 18.6V dc. SAME PROBLEM, different meter. And yes, I broke out my trusty Fluke 73 series II and confirmed 122.4V ac in the house and 12.55V dc on Vixen's battery. So, tomorrow, I'm just takin this cheapass SOB back for a refund. I swear, China is gonna be the end of us.
