>>so, can someone tell me how to use this model multimeter to test current draw?
the setup is for current draw greater than 200mA. if it's less, switch to 200mA and use the other + terminal.
>>can this be used to test remaining charge on batteries as well?
no.

edit:
on second thought....if the multimeter gives you a negative #, then reverse the terminals. i -think- ammeters are designed to read - to + as a positive current flow and + to - as a negative current flow. not 100% about the one you have. it really doesn't matter. just take the readout and ignore the - or +.
