@Vambo1980 @UnshavenFish thanks for your values! Just trying with another cable / source and get the same values as before - so this shiny new meter seems to be the problem ( or my crafty ) - cannot iterate fast on these measurements as I do not want to drain the crafty in vain ..-)
Will cut open one usb cable and use my multi-meter next ;-)
You could do what I did, although it kinda reduces it portability, mine was useless so instead of throwing it, I modded it, I have the exact same one I think. I got a high quality micro USB lead and cut the plug off and soldered it directly to the output pins. I removed the female usb socket but you could leave it in so you can plug other usb cables. While I was at it I also hard wired an iphone lead also ended up removing the male plug and wired it up directly to a 3A 5V power supply for my desktop charging and monitoring needs.
