It may do this if you have the leads to the meter connected to the wrong ends of the battery.

A power surge is unlikely to cause a significant increase in the kWh reading of a digital meter because the meter measures the amount of electricity consumed over time, not the voltage of the electrical supply. Power surges can cause damage to electronic devices but typically won't directly impact the kWh reading on a meter.

In a DC circuit, just connect your meter across the source or electrical bus. The meter, because it is one of the newer digital ones, will work regardless of which way the leads are connected. If the leads are plugged into the meter correctly, the investigator need only look at the sign associated with the reading on the meter and the position of the leads. If the reading on the meter is "13.6 V" on a DC setting, then the red lead is connected to the positive side or negative rail, and the black to the negative side or negative rail. Conversely, if the reading is "-13.6 V" on a DC setting, the red lead is on the negative side or negative rail, and the black lead is on the positive side or positive rail. The DMM is a wonderful innovation and will allow someone making measurements to not have to worry about which way to connect the leads - as long as that someone pays attention to the sign displayed with the voltage reading.
The wattmeter will read downscale (backwards).

The prefix that means one quintillionth, or times ten to the negative 18th power, is atto-. Examples: An attometer is a quintillionth of a meter, and an attosecond is a quintillionth of a second.
It is usually charged by the kilowatt hour which the company gets from reading your meter every month.
Yes, power factor can be negative. That is the case of a generator. Power factor is the cosine of the phase angle between voltage and current, and the cosine can be positive or negative.AnswerNo. Power factor can be 'leading' or 'lagging', but it cannot be 'negative' or 'positive'.
Positive is normally red and negative is normally black or green. Test them with a volt meter to be sure.

Use a power supply tester. You can get them on ebay for under $5.
