The battery was in the yellow a good bit under load. Replace!

I’ve had countless times where the battery shows bad on this device and when I take it in and it is tested. The battery shows good.

GReat Vid - btw it is called a meter movement, not a dial

Thanks Jason! I've been dealing with this on my wife's Escape fir years. I'd clean up the gasket then clear the code, but eventually it would come back. Thanks for sharing your experience 😊

Primative. What you really want is a BA101. HF sells a Viking digital but they want 40 bucks for it. The one above can be bought for 20 bucks on sale at the big online retailer who has Prime. It will do the battery test and give you a life expectancy reading. It will do a cranking test. It will do a charging test. It will also store the data and you can print it out as well. After one use you'll throw the old dinosaur in the trash.

Another great job, thanks for the video.

Thank you for taking the time to show this. Great job on the video and explaining. Exactly what I needed.

Best testers ever

I could be wrong but I have always thought that a fully charged 12 volt battery should test at 13 volts or slightly more. If it shows only 12 it is in need of more charging . This is why wipers, lights and maybe other components might work but the battery isn't strong enough to start the vehicle.

4:40 No, it's literally showing 800CCA, maybe just a tad more.

Thank you sir

This is gonna save somebody from being stranded with a dead battery.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Very useful video. Thanks

Total piece of friggin crap! I bought the sc1231 and after a year you try to turn it on, with a very low battery and it won't even start charging. I have an ancient large schumacher wheel around charger that has been beat to hell and back, has lasted forever (over 20 years) and still works fine, but I wanted one that was easily portable. Do not buy these pieces of garbage; or you will be sorry. I will not buy an automatic battery charger again for as long as I live.

The smell of a new load tester will freak ya out haha

lol this is amazing. It’s my exact vehicle too. What a time to be alive

The air blowing into the car when I use the air conditioner smells moldy. Any suggestions as to how to remedy this?

Still no definite answer on getting an error message on dash with these bulbs ? Bueller, Bueller … Anyone 😅

Well done video, Jason ❤

Very good!

I was also taught that you can also do a load test with a multimeter and have someone attempt to crank the engine. Connect the meter and attempt to crank, if the voltage drops below 9 volts it's bad or going bad.....

Great video, confident to try thanks to this video. Appreciate you making this without removing the door panel, well....shouldn't need to. 🤞 Thanks again Jason.

Excellent video!! thank you for explaining things so well bud.

I will try this on Ford explorer. Thank you.

I just recently purchased this load tester but both the directions and this video did not explain how to use the "LOAD VOLTS" and "MIN CRANK VOLTS" in the yellow area. Can someone explain how I would use this information? Thanks.

What parking sensor kit did you buy from Amazon? Has it been reliable? Good vid! Thx

What resistance number is too high as a warning to replace the battery

I just picked this up, so I appreciate the great review/tutorial. Thanks.

Can I test with the load tester while still connected in the car?

Thanks for the tutorial. I did however break that little red clip trying to detach the electrical plug. It still works, but is that a problem?

Best! Battery Tester Video I've seen...💦..Big Thank You, to Jason

1:05, What's an ODB socket?

Thanks very simple good directions

My battery charger is not working like this 888

Thanks, you did a great job

I just bought one and it caught fire... Granted it was a return they had marked as tested

🎉 what a Great video! thank you!

If you are handy enough, it's a great tool, the video is very instructive and can get you out of trouble. Now, I have a question, I wonder if I'll get an answer to it: There's the harbor freight digital tester which I guess is not capable of testing "load", is it worth for any reason to have both?

analog all day baby!

Where quality and price cross. Im about to buy one instead of the Harbor Freight Viking. Thanks and good video!

Very informative .. Ty

Ive charge mt AGM battery. It went to AGM mode then after 15mins. It goes to battery charge maintain. Is my charger broken or something with my AGM battery?

good work

You are total wrong were the numbers are on side you see like a ladder there is the read point in your case from 1000 cc you have 800 cc

looked like to me the needle was in the weak range

If it reads extremely low, select boost and run it for 5 minutes, then switch to trickle it retest and will show 12 volts....that's the "smart chip" weakness, it detects too low a voltage to attempt a trickle charge. If its bad SUL will light up.

This worked. Thanks. 9L8Z-7828646-A is the part number. Name Ford support or Ford Fuel Filler Neck mount plate.

They didnt try jumping off the battery when the buddy showed up.

Jason you make it look up so easy 👍 I’m going to do mine tomorrow
