Recommendations for a cheap USB peripheral for PC to measure voltage [closed]

I'm looking for a cheap USB peripheral that I can use to collect voltage measurement data. The application that I currently have in mind is to measure battery capacity by attaching a known resistance and then integrating the voltage measurements. This is purely for fun and out of interest.

"If you don't mind writing a few lines of code then have a look at the Arduino it's got 6 (depending on the model) analog inputs as well as a load of DIO's and a USB connector that acts as a serial port.

Writing code for it is really simple and theirs lots of examples on the web site. It's a great device and really fun to play with.

Price is good as well, their about £15+ here in the UK or $15+ on eBay.com"
