I removed the multi-directional clamping apparatus and filled the cold chamber with solid and liquid HOH. I connected the 10A input of a DMM to the "Black" wire of the Peltier device and connected the "Red" wire of the device to the positive terminal of a 9 volt battery (not the best power source but the most convienient at the time).

The Peltier device moved 2.5 amps of current while the battery had it available to supply. I will need to review the Peltier device current requirements and limitations (and consequences of exceeding those limits).

The heat-sink temp dropped substantially (I took some thermal images but none before filling the chamber) when the Peltier device was "engaged."

The battery temp doubled while the Peltier device was connected.

I did not monitor the voltage of the battery (I was more concerned with the supply current).

I did not monitor the temperature (more than take a few thermal images) of the "fluid" in the chamber or the heat-sink during operation of the device.

I will need to connect a real bench top supply and retest with some more instrumentation at a later time.

I will also have to load the silly fluke software to upload the thermal images that I captured.
