Pros & Cons
Pros
Check your car's battery andcharger to see if you need a new one. Check your boat batteries for cca and battery health.
It works great! Overall not to bad. It works excellent. Can save you a lot of money.
Going to use this unit to monitor my suv battery. Tool seems accurate enough (i don't have a second one to compare against) the information is does give appears to be very accurate when checked with digital voltmeters and is a super well-made unit.
Cons
Some of my batteries are much lower capacity than that, which produces inaccurate test results. Poor writing of instructions means i couldn't troubleshoot if i wanted to.
Highlights
Quality
Simple to use and gives an effective measurement for the remaining strength of the car battery
An easy and effective test of battery quality
From what i see the ah setting gets translated internally to cca values which are not directly translatable units
Even though one of our house batteries showed a good charge it lost it quickly and this tool proved just that the battery is no good
Price
Ive now tested a few batteries with this unit and with our 3000 snapon unit at work
Competitiveness
The ancel tester has been giving me the same readings as the expensive unit
There is no scientifically sound connection between cca and ah but according to information on the web dividing cca by 7

From what i understand my new batteries are giving me health values between 41 and 52 which dont make much sense as the internal resistance read are very close to the published values for the product
