Battery load tester?
Anyone have experience with these? Best ones for a reasonable price? Thanks DICK

UNBEATABLE TRIO
1. Accurate hydrometer
2. VARIABLE (adjustable) amperage carbon pile load tester
3. Impedance test meter
With a hydrometer a person can see discolored or cloudy electrolyte FAR before a carbon pile or impedance tester indicates a problem.
The only way a battery can fail after passing all three tests is for a mechanical failure to pop up. Like my Johnson Out Of Control Wal-Mart special that fractured an intercell strap. Not the most common of failures.
