Can you check car battery

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 !

Measure it with a voltmeter. Or use a battery tester. You can get a multimeter (measures volts, amps and ohms) for as little as $15. Then have someone show you how to use it. Its not hard and it's fun. Many other uses such as checking continuity, troubleshooting your car, checking electrical sockets, etc.

put yourcar specs on check car and it should tell you if OK for your vehicle

Sure ...just hook it up to the battery to monitor your voltage...you can also hook it to cigar lighter...that should direct connect to the battery when car is on

I have not used this particular product. To test batteries you need to know more than just what the voltage is, you have to know the voltage drop of the battery when a load is supplied. If your talking about a car battery places like Autozone will check your battery for free.http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/dcex6.html

It has my car battery. I ma not a techie on this. I read the reviews from other guys who were a lot smarter than me. I hooked it up and then used it once a week unless I drove the csr that week. It is really working for me.

Sorry, I do not know. Find a Prius owning friend who would be willing to sit a few hours with you and monitor the battery use, periodically.

I have found that a battery that sets in the store for a period of time will show weak. always best to check a battery with a good charge I have found. Even if I expect a bad battery in my auto"s I always try to charge and test them befor I just go and get a new one, have saved my self money doing this first..

No, the car is wired for a 6V battery. A 12V battery could cause wiring problems.

Yes it will check to let you know if the alternator is charging also. This is done by running the vehicle you wish to check.

Only if you're sure the battery is dead!! Lol... No, the amperage from a car battery is way too high. It might be a creative way to void your warranty, that's for sure.

You need to just take battery out and look at model number of the battery..

there is no way this could possibly drain your battery & if something does drain your battery it's not this & something else one would need to check in there car's electrical.

Always on so if the car is parked you can track it, I think it does have a battery back up, but thats the way I did it.

It depends on the condition of the battery. An OLD battery could read 12 volts, but the voltage may drop way down when trying to start. A good battery might start a car with only 10 volts

Yes it will tell you if a 12V battery is good or bad. But the best way to test a 12V battery is to use a load tester or take the battery to a auto store and ask to load test it they usally will and not charge you for it. That is the best way.
