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(bulitt @ Nov 6 2017, 06:28 AM)  yup, they were very expensive, but now 20$ at HF Looks like maybe they're putting better cables on those now?

I bought one of those 25 years ago, and the insulation on the cables rotted away within 5 years (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ... I should pick up some better quality (USA) cables one of these days (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
