Strange VOM Issue

I used to argue with a friend of mine, he was "all in" on the cheapo Horrid freight cheapie meters. I've run across 3 or 4 of them that were "off" and at least one, the owner didn't know that

All I was wanting was a backup in case the battery died in my Fluke.....which it did right after I checked the well voltage.....which led me to believe I might have damaged it, but I didn't, the battery just crapped out at the same time, it's working fine again with a new battery now. I just got this one tonight, on evilbay. I know it's not a high end one, but it will be fine for a backup, plus it gives me an analog one to do "different things" with. Notice it does have a 15V DC scale.
