Ebay has 50A ones - two in parallel for 100A?

The Datel part would probably be adequate and less than half the price.

Given that the OP used one of the most unreliable survivalist crank sites on the net as his reference a Darwin award is a more likely outcome. 100A DC makes for nice fat juicy sparks and doesn't tolerate badly made connections or undersized wiring at all well.

Hadn't thought of fleabay for this ...

Not sure whether to get shunt and use with DVM or even to get this meter + shunt for £7

I follow correctly this is Class 2.5 ... so 2.5% of scale ... so on the 100A scale +/- 2.5%

even has 100A version with free postage:
