Battery tester
A battery tester is an electronic device intended for testing the state of an electric battery, going from a simple device for testing the charge actually present in the cells and/or its voltage output, to a more comprehensive testing of the battery’s condition, namely its capacity for accumulating charge and any possible flaws affecting the battery’s performance and security.
Simple battery testers
The most simple battery tester is a DC ammeter, that indicates the battery’s charge rate. DC
voltmeters can be used to estimate the charge rate of a battery, provided that its nominal voltage is known.[2]
Battery tester
There are many types of integrated battery testers, each one corresponding to a specific condition testing procedure, according to the type of battery being tested, such as the “421” test for lead-acid vehicle batteries.[3]
