I have the carbon pile tester but to be honest neither does a COMPLETE test. both together.. Now that is getting downright close to a Complete test
The Carbon Pile unit though does a good enough job for me It has identified several Sub par batteries over the years.
Ding Ding Ding we have a winner! Both tools have there place.
If I had a choice of one of the other (and not much testing) I would choose the toaster. The real tester should be what others suggest. Specific gravity tester charged voltage tested then a toaster(check that the voltage after the toaster test rebounds quickly)
Good luck with your adventure!
