## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works like it supposed to!
*by S***A on July 19, 2024*

Heavy duty clips, and good instructions! Easy to read analog meters

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Handy Battery Tester
*by A***R on November 30, 2020*

I needed a tool to check the status of my 12v batteries. This one not only checks the voltage but performs a "load" test. A very useful tool to have if you have motorcycles and other toys with 12v batteries. Works on Lithium batteries too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Multi-Scale Ammeter makes it easy to use, and fits my need and budget perfectly.
*by P***. on April 22, 2015*

Arrived well packed and in great condition. All in good order with no loose parts. This particular model is better than some of the others i've seen due to having several scales on the amp meter. The amp meter has scales showing the CCA and the AH, so calculating the "half CCA" or the "3X AH" is not necessary. Easy to use, and certainly fits my need perfectly. For those who complain about the thin material of the enclosure, or the cheapness of the parts, then go and buy the equivalent tester from Snap-On, and pay for the quality. As for the current draw increasing during the load test: As the carbon pile heats up, it's resistance goes down, thus (given ohms law) the current draw will increase. This is a very normal reaction to heat and resistance (This is most likely why the test is only 15 seconds to minimize this effect). To overcome this would require a very large carbon pile with LOTS of surface area, and perhaps a fan. This would make this tester very expensive and large. So for the money....I'll stick with this one!
