I am hardcore old school when it comes to checking the health of a bat... Its not unusual for me to run into a print out from from those new checkers that states the bat is good when its not... I am not sold on them...
The art of load testing a battery just may be history only because its to much for low wage employ's to compered... All they now have to do is hook it up and press a button and act smart...
Had one a few weeks ago that was a no start,,, AAA guy hooked up his gismo it printed out the bat was bad,,, he told the customer it also had a bad alternator :shock: How he tested the alt when it would not start I dunno :shock:
Tow truck dropped it off it cranked good,,,,,,, I found a blown fuse for the EFI... I replaced the fuse and while under the dash noticed it had a security system un-hooked it and all is well...
I run into these print outs often I spec 80% of the time the bat is bad when the print out says its good... What I find is the bat is borderline on its last leg,,, it may crank it but short winded it better fire up are you are gonna need a jump... The other issue is the computer will shut down if the cranking voltage falls below 9V (are their a bouts)... A borderline are bad bat uses all its stored energy cranking the engine it leaves very little to operate other systems like ignition...
I know you are proud of your new toy and have all right to be proud,,, I bet I can prove it wrong on a regular basis...
