ANCEL BA101 Car Battery Tester 12V Load Tester, 100-2000 CCA Auto Battery Analyzer, Automotive Alternator Tester Digital on Cranking Charging System, for Motorcycle, Truck, Boat, RV, Marine & More

It’s looks really do hide a truly great performing battery tester. A very good range of tests, all carried out with the most important factor - accuracy. Others on the market do ‘look’ better, where this just works as it should, and at a very good price point. The only way it could be improved would be the inclusion of a suitable storage case in place of the small card box it arrives in. Low cost and high performance. Superb little tool to have about.

Load testing the health of your car battery CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) and whether the battery can retain the charge is important to know when having diesel vehicles especially for those colder mornings - don't get caught out!. It's easy to use, does what it says and clearly displays the results. I've always used the multi-meter method for checking the alternator charge but this does that to. I'm not intending to use the report and download feature but that could be useful in a commercial sense. I Should have bought one of these tools years ago.

Very handy piece of kit for small money. Had a battery go bad on a vintage vehicle. Tried charging but the CCA was gone to low on the battery.

Have so many batteries around. Project farm vid said this is best for the £. Looks like all my old batteries are no good! No real way of double checking. But does say known good batteries are good. Recommended.

Great little tester. Easy to use and really accurate too. You need to know some basic info about your car battery type and capacity (can usually be found on your battery if you don’t know) Reports battery health as well as state of charge and voltage. Can also test your car’s charging system (alternator) to see if the cars charging the battery You can also run a cranking test to see how the battery performs under load. There’s a good review of it on YouTube (projectfarm) if you want to see it beat other models much more expensive than this one.

Good value for money

Works perfectly and a very reasonable price Would definitely recommend

Quite vague results, even on detailed test modes. Will often say a bad battery has okay health bus is discharged ("OK - Recharge"). It can't be charged, because it was fully charged by another charger. The rivet broke off the croc clip after about 5 uses too.
