Hello Scotty,
I would like to buy a battery tester, to load test me battery, test alternator etc. I found your video here:

Were you recommend the TOPDON AB101 but since the video is from 2017 have you found anything better nowadays ?
Thank you
Chris
I don't trust any of the those cheap electronic gizmos, because they do not simulate real world conditions. The starter needs to pull hundreds of amps and there's no way a handheld gadget is doing that. If I need my batter tested I go to my local battery shop where they wheel out the carbon pile tester on a cart and it loads the battery the way an actual car would. There is no substitute.
Topdon has newer models, but it's such a simple function that it doesn't matter all that much. The ArtiBattery 101 is still for sale, online.
Yes I have found it on eBay, just wondering if there are other options approved by Scotty.
Check out his store on Amazon. Recommendations will be listed there.
Thanks
