The metering should be repeatable and some error is acceptable. The 10A error is kind of not useful unless it is related to the amount of actual current and nominal voltage of the system. The error may not be a big deal on a 12V but a 48V nominal may be an issue.
A good cheap and dirty replacement is the Sears meter. Probably cheaper than a Fluke factory calibration:) --Dave http://www.sears.com/craftsman-professional-true-rms-ac-dc-clamp-ammeter/p-03473756000P?sid=IDx01192011x000001&gclid=Cj0KCQjwoZTNBRCWARIsAOMZHmEv6KV_T0E3frgDXm9uThcZK7hKx-4Kj0AWyOiCpm_Xrhr1MkBPg9waAmp8EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CJT69Jfz_NUCFdF6fgodlJUHPw Dave DrakeDave > Some years ago I was talking to Outback Tech support and mentioned > major discrepancies in voltage readings from a Mate.
