It dissipates waste heat quickly

Arrived on time, looks well built and durable I used it to test 30 batteries in my solar generator in one day. It dissipates waste heat quickly and I had no problems with this tester.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

For the price - like a decent block

For the price - like a decent block. I have not disassembled it, only used it with 3 batteries and have not tested the alternator with it under load, but the voltage and current readings have been verified with my meter and ammeter to be accurate and there was no sign of heat to worry about. but I only drew 200 amps with it, it's an "old school" system. If it starts reading "out of spec" it's easy to adjust as the potentiometers can be clipped from the front of the unit. If it ever fails…

Pros
  • Battery tester
Cons
  • Clarity

good device. Here's what you need to know.

I always look at things for their value. This is a good device for the price. In my opinion the quality is good and slightly better than what I expected at this price point. I opened it up and was pleased to see the heat shield on the wires and near the circuit board (used for a 10 or 15 second timer that buzzes). The connections looked solid and I tightened a few more of them. The clamps and cables are quite good and flexible. Even before I used it, I connected a small 12V fan (like in a PC)…

Pros
  • Tools and equipment
Cons
  • So-so
