Pros & Cons
Pros
Works great. Packaged well and works just fine. Works and inexpensive. Great price. Second recommendation. Recommendation order 2.
Tool allows you to test the output of both the car battery and the alternator from a cigarette lighter. Works well to check your battery by checking every cell. Easy instructions to follow and even a u tube to demonstrate.
Cons
It's a bit confusing on the alternator as all lights can mean it is overcharging. On another car, all the lights illuminate when plugged in - that makes the info useless.
Took my truck to the shop. Obviously was sent a dead unit and chastised myself for buying the leas t expensive and lower rated model. Wouldn't recommend, lettering coming off,looks alot nicer and bigger in picture.

Battery lights are only on when the vehicle is running
