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
Got 1.
2. Can I measure impedance by turning on the lights and dividing the voltage by the current?
3. Can I load test with the lights, too? I tried leaving the lights on for two hours while visiting my dentist and the vehicle wouldn't start. Is that a test failure? What constitutes a pass? I guess I could compare two batteries and see which can deliver more amp hours before hitting the dreaded 12.0 volts. But I'm really interested in how long it can crank in cold weather. Unplug the spark plugs and observe that directly?
