I recently picked up this 'cheap-ish' battery tester. Man, I wish I'd had it a long time ago. Works in and out of the car, in the car it also analyzes starter load and alternator output. Great little tool. It's not a bad price, it's small, and from the various batteries I tested around the shop, it worked quite well.

QUOTE(rgalla9146 @ Nov 6 2017, 08:04 AM)  Very interesting. How does it do a load test ? Apparently it uses an AC conductance measurement to evaluate load. Or if it's in the car, it measures voltage while cranking and the starter is the load. The alternator ripple test is what pushed me to this unit instead of an analog load tester. |
