🔋 SOLAR Digital 12V Battery and System Tester: Maximize Efficiency and Reliability Review

Now we use this to quickly check every car battery at every 5,000 oil changes/service Here in Phoenix in the heat the wisdom is never buy a car battery and don't own it, you just rent it it until it fails. Mostly catastrophic and without warning. I've been looking for a way to predict these errors and this little gem is the perfect tool to help you with that. Immediately after connection, the open circuit voltage of each battery is displayed. You simply select your battery rating (usually CCA…

I've had this for about three years and have used it on a lot of batteries. I don't find this useful because when you enter a CCA rating for a battery, after the tester has performed the expected voltage and continuity checks between cells, it compares the CCA to a number somehow retrieved from the battery. If the number is not in the expected range, you will be prompted to charge the battery and try again. When you charge a battery, it usually passes the tests. What it doesn't show is the…

I bought this device in 2016. Have used it about 6 times successfully to test different batteries on my car. Has always worked well. It let me down this time. I tested my daughter's car for the cold winter months and tested the tester with a 640CCA battery. A week ago it showed 365 CCA so I charged the battery. It reached 465CCA. Starting problems etc. were not noticed. Just in case, I went to COSTCO and bought a new battery after asking them to test the old one. They were busy and didn't have…

I was disappointed that this pack did not work well with motorcycle batteries, at least as far as the pass/fail test is concerned. The test CCA indication on the Solar BA9 is 2-3 times the nominal SAE CCA for new batteries and for batteries that are a few years old but still good as determined by actual use and conventional stress testing. A notoriously poor battery that will not hold a charge under normal use and will fail the conventional stress test, but was still rated "OK" by Solar BA9…

I've been working on my own vehicles for 34 years and battery, alternator and starter motor problems are driving you crazy. Especially if you let the auto parts store test it. If you don't know anything about cars and don't want to get dirty, you can have your car tested with their tester. They even provide dough for free. In many cases this will fix you, especially if you have an old ol' battery that needs to be replaced under warranty. Well, if you're still under warranty, these tests will…

I've never had an effective way to determine the health of my car batteries. With Solar BA9, the answer is now just seconds away. For the first time, I know with certainty if a battery is good, bad, or somewhere in between. I used to think that a good voltage reading is a good indicator of battery health. Not so! Now I know that CCAs (Cold Crank Amplifiers) are the real answer. BA9 quickly tells you if your battery is producing enough CCA to be reliable, while also analyzing the internal plates

Well, I have an ABT-GOLD Plus battery tester. and when i bought it it was $600! The device only tests SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) or car batteries up to 200 Ah (ampere hours). I was beginning to wonder why a recently purchased 100Ah AGM (absorbed frosted glass) battery only read 80Ah. As a result, I've bought a ton of different chargers over the past year and ended up speaking to NOCO tech support. Basically they told me that no AGM batteries, which include flat and wound versions, can be accurately
