Working on the Car at home...

[Dartz]

And then, randomly, the battery dies. Dead cell - after 12 years in the car that's not too bad. On the plus side I made an unusual lightbulb for a few seconds when I tried to measure the voltage across it with the multimeter in current mode. Forgot to switch after doing a dark current check.

Now I need a new multimeter and a new battery.

It was kind of helpful of the Leaf owner to gloat about how I should've bought an electric car - I mean, he said you'd never have to worry about problems like that in an electric car.
