ANCEL BA101 Car Battery Tester, 12V Digital Automotive Alternator Meter Diagnostic Tool,100-2000 CCA Load Capacity, Charging & Cranking Analyzer for Truck, Boat, RV, Marine Vehicle, and More

I gave this 5 stars because it does exactly what I want a battery tester to do: it takes the guesswork out. Instead of wondering whether the problem is the battery, the charging system, or something else, this gives me a quick answer without dragging out a bunch of other tools.What I like most:It is easy to use, gives clear readings, and covers the information that actually matters. I like that it can check battery health, state of charge, cranking performance, and charging system performance all in one tool. That makes it useful not just for confirming a bad battery, but also for catching alt

I needed a simple tool to check the condition of my car battery, and the ANCEL BA101 has worked great. It is easy to hook up, the display is straightforward, and the results are easy to understand without having to be a mechanic. I also like that it can check the charging system, which makes it handy for figuring out whether the problem is the battery or something else. For the price, it has been a useful little diagnostic tool and I would definitely recommend it.

This is handy. Bright, legible back-lit display, powered by the 12V battery being tested. This more than a simple voltage tester (though it reports that also). I really like it can test batteries while still connected to car or disconnected (you tell tester which way). Included USB cable (old-style mini-USB) isn't for charging, needed only for computer interface if you need to capture or print results (I haven't tried). Settings are a bit confusing with lots of options with how to describe battery capacity, but it seems that once you put one of them in, device starts testing. Built-in cable an

SUMMARY: A very cost effective battery tester that appears to function well. Instructions could use a LOT of improvement, but it is pretty intuitive if you are capable of google searching your battery specs and inputting them. They should make clear you can pass one test and fail another. The Quick Test on it's own is insufficient to diagnose a battery with issues. 4 stars on poorly written instructions but good performance and relatively intuitive operation. Also the leads seem like just about the right length to avoid a bundle of excessive cables under the hood but enough room to test with c

It seems to work very well and has not given me any trouble. Easy to use.

I bought 4 of these based on a great test of many testers. This one was recommended for price and many reasons off a "Project ---" comparison test of many battery testers. Got here in 1 day to all 4 of us. At first it said my 2 yr old 4Runner battery was in "poor" health and to replace..Rated 600 CCA, but tester showed around 300. It starts fine. It showed my 12v trolling motor battery needing replacing also. I was ready send it back with bad review!Then I took the unit to my local Wal Mart battery dept and tested 4 car batteries from 410a to over 600 CCA. They all showed 100% and more CCA tha

I saw this product tested on Project Farm and decided it was time to upgrade from my old battery tester, especially for the features versus price, and the recommendation of the Project Farm host. I jumped on it the other day when it was $4.00 off on a sale. I ordered it early in the morning and it arrived at my door the same day. I like that it has the battery test, starting circuit test, and the charging system test. I don't have any 24VDC batteries so I wasn't concerned that it didn't test those. I took it out to the garage and after breezing through the instructions and watching a couple Yo

Works as advertised. Simple and clear. Most car batteries don't list Ah. You will need to figure that out based on cca. Usually between 50 and 60 ah.
