Can you check car battery
312752
Yes you can, and also record the voltage that the battery contains. Although this unit is meant to do much more than that, and there are other less expensive multi-meters or battery testers that can give that type of information.

You can check the voltage. If you check it right after it's been running and then again after it's been sitting for some time it could show you a drop in the stored voltage, however this could indicate a constant drain on the battery unless you disconnect the negative terminal when doing the test. If you are trying to determine if the battery is weak, then you really need a load tester.

Yes you can providing you buy the power probe with the volt meter built in which is a really good feature. Helps with making sure you have power and the components you are checking

You can check voltage , but u can't do a load test to confirm battery condition !

This tester will not test car batteries it's designed for AA, AAA's, Button batteries, hobby batteries ,9 volt and watch batteries. For car batteries you need a tester that will put a load on it to test the capacityfor cold cranking. Hope this answers your question.

The power light on the right side of the unit "should" indicate the battery status of the unit, not the battery being tested. So, here's a thought, try putting "fresh" batteries in the unit, then run your test again.

I would not do that. I don't think it will give you a true reading of the battery condition. I ran a dedicated pair of wires from Positive & negative battery terminals to the meter. I installed a small toggle switch on the dash & broke the negative wire thru it so that the meter only draws current when the switch is on. otherwise it is always draining the battery. Hope this helps.

mine came with a battery in it. You could look for the number on that battery.

Do the folowing:1. Reseat your battery. (Make sure it locks into place. 2. Make sure your battery has a charge with a voltmeter. (Any auto parts or engine repair shop would able to do this if you don't have one.) Should read 24-26 Volts DC if charged but will still read the same until almost completely dead so if possible put a load on it when checking. 3. Make sure your charger is working.4. I'ts a simple 24 Volt electric motor so if the battery is good and is charged, it's either a connection that has come loose or the switch on the handle is bad. Take it in for warranty repair.

I use regular replaceable batteries and it has a little button you push to check them. But I don't see why you cant use rechargeable.

Yes, you push a button and it tells how much charge is left on the battery.

No. This battery tester will test 1.5V Button Cells up to 22.5V Lantern Cells. It will not test car batteries. -kd5-

The maximum this meter can safely measure is 10 Amps, so it cannot measure the car battery's amp cranking capacity, which is going to be far greater than 10 amps, it would be in the hundreds. This is my understanding.

you probably have seen it at the Shorai site, but they have an application finder. What I mean is you input your vehicle and it finds the battery. That's how I did it and it worked great.

You can always verify the battery via APC's battery selector - you need the exact model number - http://www.apc.com/tools/upgrade_selector/index.cfm

It is a quick and easy and inexpensive tool to have with you to check your batteries. And it covers the spectrum of batteries from 1.5 to 9 volts. Toss one in your bag one any place else you need to be able to check a battery for the price you can't beat it.

I am not sure. I would take the car to batteries plus and see if they have something

I am not sure but could test it for you. Are you able to have it installed so it's connected to the battery of the car? If you want to me to email you the results I can.

Hook it up to the battery you want to test and select test. The tester will test the battery ans tell you if it is good or bad,

From the PowerDrive user manual "The motor is equipped with a battery gauge. This LED gauge provides an accurate display of the remaining charge in the battery". The answer to your question is yes.
