  • Operates reliably from -20 °C to +50 °C at up to 85 % humidity

Analog DC Ammeter 0-20A

The Unique-Bargains 85C1 is an analog panel meter designed for direct DC current measurement up to 20 amperes without an external shunt. It suits technicians and hobbyists who need a simple, panel-mounted indicator for battery chargers, automotive circuits, or laser power monitoring where digital readouts are not required.

Class 2.5 accuracy and direct connection

The meter operates with a Class 2.5 accuracy rating across the 0-20A range, meaning readings carry a tolerance band suited for indication rather than precision calibration. It functions within a -20 to +50°C temperature window and up to 85% relative humidity, so it is not intended for extreme environmental conditions or high-precision laboratory use.

Transparent plastic housing with 52x49mm cutout

A clear plastic case allows quick scale reading from multiple angles, while a front-mounted zero adjuster lets you correct needle offset without removing the unit. The meter fits a 52 by 49 millimetre panel cutout and includes mounting hardware, making it straightforward to install in existing enclosures or custom control panels.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 0-20 A version for a circuit that peaks near 20 A?

The meter covers DC 0-20 A, so it will read up to the full 20 A without an external shunt.

What does the Class 2.5 accuracy mean when the meter is installed in a panel?

Class 2.5 allows an error of up to 2.5 % of full scale, or ±0.5 A at the 20 A end.

How does the direct-connection design affect the wiring compared with a shunt-based meter?

The movement connects straight into the circuit up to 20 A, so no separate shunt or extra wiring is required.
