Nice addition to my toolbox

I was able to diagnose a battery problem that mechanics didn't. Works great & easy to operate.

Seems to work great

The multi-color screen is very impressive interface to test your batteries. It is powered by the battery itself, it is also supplied with a mini-usb connection for a computer which I assume updates and storing test procedures. Appears to be built sturdy and comes with a hard storage case for everything.

Battery tester

It was a little hard to shuffle through the instructions. There's not alot to go on I think if there was better instructions it would been easier. I would still buy it.

Super slick device. Good value for the price.

This test unit is as advertised and can test 6, and 12 volt batteries. It’s easy to set parameters and read results. I’ve used it to check a variety of 6 and 12 volt marine and RV batteries. It worked well on all and easily spotted the weak batteries under load testing. Construction of unit is solid. I’ve only had it a couple of weeks but I think it will last a long time with proper care. The case it comes in is also nice.
