Battery Load Tester Question

   / Battery Load Tester Question #11  
And when connected different ways with a little thought, a cheap 100 amp carbon pile load tester is a great tool for testing battery cables and ground connections that may be hard to access.
You can do that with regular selectable tractor loads like lights or glow plugs or starter and using a cheap Digital VOM on a sensitive scale to measure the V dropped at the connector/connection.

Yes, Larry you can. Applying a known load at a specific point in a circuit has advantages in my opinion.

That's why I choose to do it that way sometimes.

I don't claim a load tester to be the best or only circuit troubleshooting tool.
