A BATTERY READER WITH the engine turned off measures the battery accurately. When the engine is running, the condition of both the battery and alternator is shown.
Batteries must be tested in order to power it up. There is no need for batteries.
This does not make sense to me. simply connect to a battery, read its voltage, and look at the charts which show % charge as a function of voltage - When you know how the battery is doing, you can do other things. In addition to the first one that I bought, I fitted it with long wires so that I can see if my alternator is charging as I travel. I can't believe how accurate this is given the price. I would highly recommend it *Graham
If the battery is 58 with the engine off, it is good to consider it normal for a 12v car battery, but if it is 13 with the engine running, it is not. The number 5 to 6 You will need 5 volts to start.

There was a problem with the car of a good friend of mine. Taking his battery to an auto parts store was the best choice for him. His battery was only able to charge up to 66%, so they suggested he purchase a new one as well as an The MOTOPOWER MP0514A I purchased has the following features. Delivery was fast (I ordered it on a Monday and received it early on Later, I got in a car and borrowed a battery charger from my friend. It appears that his so-called 'bad' battery is working fine. After putting it back into his car, he drove off. Attached was this delightful little battery tester that indicated it was in good working order. As he started his car, he also tested his alternator, which was also shown to be faulty by the same tester. A nice little tester he found on the Internet indicated that the alternator was good and that everything else was fine as well. It has been almost a week now since he began to drive again without incident. I was able to save my friend some big bucks with this handy little cheap MOTOPOWER MP0514A tester. Using this app could not be easier. A battery can be hooked up to only two connections. Here is the positive post and here is the negative post. It will not be adjusted further in any way. The only thing you need to do to test your alternator is to start your car after testing the battery. By using this tester, you will not need to do any analysis on your own. happy with my purchase. It is a wonderful little device!.
Upon checking both batteries, I found that one had an 11 volt rating. On one side, it reads 23 and on the other 11, There are 76 volts in the circuit. Those who are It is reported that the 23 is low and the 11 is high. There is a high score of 76. I believe that is not true. Upon checking his car batteries, my neighbor discovered that one had a voltage of I also had 23 (same as mine) which read A total of 2 To get my battery tested, I went to my mechanic, and it is a There are 52 volts in the system.
The shop tried to sell me an alternator when it turned out that my backdoor light was on dim and staying on and my car would not start.
There is nothing more to this than a voltmeter. An analysis of the system is free of charge. There is no light on the alternator It was a terrible experience. Leads were too short. Clamps were It is now being used as a toy by my grandson, who is four years old.
I then tested my battery after it was charged. According to the readout, the battery is still dead despite being full and fine.
When I compared it to what I received from the auto part stores to check my battery and alternator, this unit performs very well and is 90% accurate.
I understand that people complain about the short connections to the clamps, but they don't realize that all they have to do is gently pull the clamps apart, and the cables will come out to a distance of about half an inch. There is no damage to the cables at all. You will be able to have an overall cable length of 32' between the clamps with this configuration. There's no need for anyone to have more than that. For the reviewers who note that the little inexpensive plastic covering over the clamp handles fell off, I agree. I cannot imagine how it can fall off anywhere on mine. As long as you slide them back up to the clamp handles, they will slide down on the little cable wires. It's made from thin plastic tubing, so they are just cut from there. Those reviewers who claimed that LEDs did not work should contact Amazon. It is possible that their unit is defective. "Inexpensive" equipment tends to have problems like that quite often. It works fine on my unit to show how much current is being generated by the alternator from both the left and right side of the battery. For its modest price, this small unit is much better than many of the commercial equipment from Sun Engineering and other commercial electrical testers that professional mechanics use every day. The device works perfectly. I'm a fussy old school mechanical engineer who has already invested in some inexpensive pieces of equipment that did not work. Thus I am not the sort of person who accepts all equipment indiscriminately. This is especially true if it does not work like it should. I do not represent this manufacturer or receive pay from it. This was a very inexpensive item that did what it was advertised to do. I was very pleased with it.
I invite you to take a look at the photos to prove my claims. You can send yours back if it does not work.
The name of the product is misleading. In spite of this, I'm only giving it two stars. 1) It's just a voltmeter at its most basic. Charges current through the battery, but doesn't drive it through the battery to determine if it's good or past its charge. The terminal leads are short and useless. An electrical tester should be located directly next to the battery under test. 3) No instructions needed!.
