Tester Requires: Battery Tester

Gives me data I didn't have before to avoid costly mistakes when replacing good batteries. And there's really no need to buy the more expensive version, this one will display a measured CCA outside of the published CCA range of 200-850.

Pros
  • Battery Tester
Cons
  • High Price

Pros
  • Diagnostic, test and measurement tools
Cons
  • When in doubt

New car models, stuffed with electronics, are sold with AGM batteries. For example, the new BMW 5 Series is equipped with an AGM battery as standard. I paid $198 for the PBT200, assuming that the American-built…
