Can this tester be used to test photovoltaic batteries (deep cycle batteries)?

There are settings for SLI( Starting/Lighting/Ignition-Standard flooded Batteries) or Seal(VRLA,GEL,AGM, etc. Sealed/MF Batteries)

We generally just use multimeters and/or Hydrometers to check batteries, I don't think this has that capability.It's great for charging though.

Yes. Rechargeables are slightly lower voltage. Hence you need a true "battery tester". This is a batter tester. Not a voltage meter.

No, it only tests the battery, but it is the most accurate tester to detect bad cell

yes ,you can test the battery voltage,charging current from the solar panel

This tester DOES NOT work with CR2032, 2016, 2025 or any other BUTTON Cell batteies. Regardless of what is being written in these responses, again, this tester CAN NOT TEST ANY BUTTON BATTERY. The tester uses power from the battery being tested to function, the button batteries. There is no slot or contact points to test any button battery. This is not a bad battery tester, but if you need to test button batteries, this is not the product for that purpose. Hope that helps.

In my opinion, this tester is suitable for detecting good from dead batteries, and that's how I use it. For anything that is not full but has some life left in it, I would treat it as dead and in need of charge.

Yes, I just tried it and it works but since those batteries are 3 volts it is hard to know if it is reading it right. It "pegged" out a new battery and I suspect that it will tell you if a 3V is very weak or dead, but not "low" since a "low 3v" would probably still produce more than 1.5v. By the way, this tester has already saved me it's cost in batteries I would have otherwise thrown away.

No its not a tester. Yes you can charge batteries not fully discharged. Also, it will tell you if a battery is bad. However I've had it say this and with a rub of the battery against my clothes. The contract must have been better because then it changed fine.

No. I tis designed to test off the shelf batteries. I personally have used it to test rechargables. It works on some but not on others. Have no idea why.

I'm not sure as I have only tested standard batteries but I think lithium can be tested as well.

Yes you can, however, you should use at minimum a 7 amp charge controller. the charge controller will have the coupling you need to connect to this solar panel. I used 6 inch beautiful tape and placed it on the top of my camper. I never remove the solar panel from my deep cycle battery

I Would Say, No. Mine Wouldn't Respond To Holding The Test Button In Even With The Batteries Installed Correctly.

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.

I've used this tester on both 12v and 6v batteries but I've never seen an 8v battery. This is the best tester I've ever used and is well worth the price.

That's why I bought one. I use it to check my batteries in my solar system. Works great. You need to disconnect each battery and check them individually.

It simply applies a load across the battery being tested and measures voltage so it'll work on any 6 or 12 volt lead acid battery as a comparative or trend analysis tool. The "good and bad" scale doesn't have a marking for deep cycle application but I use mine to match and trend some large 1500 short circuit amp batteries. I have a hand held digital voltmeter connected in parallel with this instrument so I don't really use the scale anyway, it's just a handy, cheap switched load.
