Default Clamp Meter Problem.

I've got a problem. A good problem.

Always wanted a clamp meter - but never wanted to pay the price.
So when the cheapie Chinese models came along, I bought one.
A model DT3266E to be precise.
2A~ 20A~ 200A~ coupla ohms scales and voltage scales
with attached leads.


Anyway, I knew in my head that cheapie clamp ons are only
good for AC - and that's what the range selecter said too.

But still, I bought a way expensive little lead acid battery for a Honda
Recon 4 wheel RV, and filled it with the acid provided then hooked it to
a charger.

I tried the clip on. It read 2.5 A initially.
That seemed about right.
It tapered to 0.9 A in the next few hours. THAT seemed right.

Here's the problem: if it works on DC ( or maybe rough DC)
why is it marked for AC only?
