    It was just about a month ago that, while browsing through various forums on this site, that I came across a thread dealing with battery load testers.... Now I can't find it.

    Anyone else remember seeing it? I'm looking for information on currently available high quality testers for automotive hobby guys (like me).

    Thanks in advance.

    If it really was posted in the last month, and in this section of the board, it should be in one of these threads/posts with the word battery in it

    Thanks guys.

    buicksWILD - I'll consider that one a good option.

    Nailhead in a 1967 - I searched for "battery load tester" and "battery test" in the Wrenching Secrets forum, the Street/Strip 400/430/455 forum and this forum, but no luck.

    I'll keep looking, though.
