Pros & Cons
Pros
The tecmate provides the voltage of lead acid, agm and lithium 12 volt batteries. It also indicates on the back how healthy your battery is. Digital voltage readouts are available as aftermarket items.
Cons
This is very expensive. I think the led configuration is less than intuitive.
Highlights
Quality
Well made and should last many years with proper care
Easy to use works well material looks strong

Delivered on time and works exactly as intended
Prompt undammaged delivery by amazon one day later
Competitiveness
But depending on brand the agm scale might not be exactly right for example odyssey agms are slightly different
I compared the voltage reading from the bright leds and they were basically very close to what my fluke 87v multimeter reads

Basically it is a voltmeter but it uses leds to indicate the voltage and therefore whether the battery crank voltage and engine charging system is of acceptable operation

It provided that two cars that have no trouble lights also have no codes

But to that extent it worked

A volt meter will show you the same thing

The graphs on the face of the tool is why i purchased it
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Hardly any vehicles these days come with voltmeters that continuously read the battery voltage
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
But even if you have an aftermarket digital voltmeter they only hold their readouts for the display update time which is only a fraction of a second
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Because the lowest cranking voltage occurs very quickly a digital voltage display wont reliably detect the lowest voltage and hold it the way the optimate does
