Re: Which Battery to Buy?

Andrew,
The linked tester looks interesting but the documentation doesn't really document how each test is performed. I have contacted the manufacturer to see if I can get any additional info. My suspicion is that the load test is performed for a very short period of time that is not controlled by the human tester. That makes the test fairly benign. The PBT-50 looks like a more appropriate tester for our size batteries but both should work.
