Oh, if you're going to carry a test lamp, it's absolutely trivial to make
one will work as a powered continuity tester using a 9V battery and an extra
piece of wire and a couple gator clips.
Of course, if you've planned ahead to actually *carry* these things,
(instead of making one out of bits at the sidwe of the road. Not that
*I* have ever done that. Oh, no. Not me!) why not spend a few more
dollars and get a multimeter? I paid all of $10 for the one I carry
around in the rover. It's good enough for the electrics in a series,
and even has some things that are perfectly useless in a series, like a
diode tester...
