Good for home use, construction little cheap we will see if it lasts. Rating: 4 / 5 Good Price, works well. Good for home use, construction little cheap we will see if it lasts.

It's a pain to get two cars down to the auto parts store for testing (by folks who may not be neutral about the results) so I invested in a Actron CP7612 tester. It's simple to use to test a vehicle's battery and charging system. <br /> <br />As other reviewers have noted, the tester can get very hot if the spring-loaded test switch is held in the "on" position for too long but my unit only got warm during the 10-15 second test specified in the instructions. The product is robust enough for the DIYer, with heavy connecting cables and an acceptably rigid sheet metal enclosure for the test element (heating coil) and meter.

It definitely puts a load on the battery and prevents trips to local shops that will sometimes load test for free. I have a couple of batteries now that were claimed to be bad. So I bought a charger from SAMS which reconditions batteries. Following the reconditioning charge I used the load tester and verified the once doomed battery has been brought back to a serviceable life. Between the charger and load tester I may never have to buy another car battery. Rating: 5 / 5 Product works as advertised.

My item measure with 1v or 1.5v in some instances lower than actual voltage. Rating: 1 / 5 The item is cheaply made and actually does not measure accurately and correctly.
