40 years worth and I did not learn over night... My issue with Testing a battery with a load tester at 1/2 its rated CCA (even tho that's the way to do it). When you get a Vehicle that a starter is going bad and will not show up in the shop I like to use starter amp draw as my load test then if it passes I am thinking starter... I will admit I occasionally get beat :evil:... Money, time, convenience and convincing stand in the way and you replace a good battery from time to time before you go after the dreaded starter...
Another good reason to get a REAL load tester not a 100Amp toy that's better than nuttin tho (add in a amp clamp) is you can master the most common starter/charging system issues...
Why I do not reuse a condemned bat in my tractors..
I wish we all had a 100% kill rate but we don't you will get beat from time to time... Money, time, convenience and convincing stand in the way to often....
I am a die hard load tester Old School its still a judgement call...
