will these monitor and tell you how much power you're using with electrical products?

No. but i can tell you that my outlet stopped working after about a year of use

Yes, that will work. The meter reading will indicate the value of the power source voltage. Instant battery voltmeter if that's what you want.

Have a look at the back of your power brick (you may need magnifier, I do), it will have an output value saying ___ VDC. If that is 12 or 19 then you should be good to go.

You have to find out the voltage going into your home or studio from the electric company or by checking out your fuse box. The incoming voltage amount may be posted on it.

Yes it will. the accuracy on the wattage scale is 0.0watts. So for example, if a clothes iron (1000 watts) is on for 1 second the display would show 0.1 watts.

David M gives you the math. Is the 190watt load the total load or just for the monitor? If other components make sure you add ALL of them into the calcs.

Its hard to give an estimate without knowing what the current or draw is from those devices. By looking at the Power details on the power supplies should give you all the info needed to calculate the duration.

Yes you can providing you buy the power probe with the volt meter built in which is a really good feature. Helps with making sure you have power and the components you are checking

Sure, it monitors the voltage of the system. From 4.0 to 30 volts. Mine is installed in an electronics box on the t-top of my boat and allows me to see the battery voltage at a glance

Yes, it'll read current no matter what's generating it. But what you really need is to put a load on the battery and see how long they last. You can calculate how much power they deliver.

Make sure you have power to both the monitor and the sending unit, using a voltmeter.

It only shows runtime, load capacity and voltage. For watts you should look into a kill-a-watt device like this one: http://www.amazon.com/P3-P4400-Electricity-Usage-Monitor/dp/B00009MDBU I have one of those and it works great. Plug it in before the unit, then plug the unit into it and you will have the watt display of the whole ups.

I highly doubt that they would. Lights like these often draw quite a bit of power. The power supplied that are usually needed are the same used by computer monitors.

No it doesn't. I would suggest either a seperate meter or the system I use which is called TED. TED monitors the entire electrical usage for your home.

Definitely not! Our electric company will provide us with a special meter that can plug into ANY device, and it shows you how much energy is being used and at what cost. They should probably look into something like that in their state. But we did not see any significant increase like that. Sorry you are experiencing such an issue, because it really is a great product, and our son and daughter have both benefited from its use. Good luck!

Yes it does gives you the Amp Hour & Watt Hour (1000 Watt Hour = 1 unit of electricity) reading to monitor your system and especially battery capacity. Accumulated values of [Ah] & [Wh] resets when voltage goes below 4v or shut off.

Just follow manufacturer's recommendation or try to plug through a surge protector and see if there's any difference. Please post the results.
