I recently bought a ifixit multimeter and I tested it out to see if it was working properly. I tried out the different modes and they worked until i tried out continuity. I took a battery that i knew was charged and tried to test it out my multimeter. I turned continuity testing mode on and touched both probes together to see if it would beep and it did. I then took the red probe and held it on positive terminal and put the black probe on negative but the multimeter didnt beep. I was very confused. I then got the idea to put the red probe on the negative terminal and the black probe on the positive terminal and guess what, it beeped.
My question is when testing continuity in a battery am i supposed to put red probe to positive and black probe to negative or am i supposed to do red probe to negative and black probe to positive.
