Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

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.

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But to that extent it worked


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    A volt meter will show you the same thing


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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
