I too had this kind of issue..seems battery is weak and it needs to be kept for a while atleast 10-15 minutes even sometimes 30minutes to get it working
 
I am using a clamp DMM. :p

Cheap and works well. The results may not be cent percent accurate but we get to know the average power draw of the equipment.

Yes i have one,but its Sound based not the more expensive and accurate laser distance meter.If you want a laser based one check out the nearest bosch dealer.

If one is using a DMM then most can only measure upto 10A or at the max 20A.You will need to run the DMM in series with device being measured.

For measuring just voltage a DMM should be fine,but for measuring power one will need a clamp meter which again needs to be a really good one to get accurate reading,since the the slight change in the clamps direction/position alters the reading.

Power is best measured in a TRMS capable meter,getting a TRMS DMM/clamp meter costs around 5k or more.So its best to buy a watt meter (but not the dirt cheap Chinese ones,,some of the good ones should be just accurate as the energenie ones).But if ones need a accurate reading get a TRMS capable power meter like the MECO PG09H or PG09
