I have multiple APC UPSes in my home and sometimes the batteries fail in them, but also I've had the UPSes themselves fail, which means I may be recycling perfectly good batteries.
I am looking for a decent SLA battery load tester that can test the battery, tell me if it's good or bad and report the amp-hour capacity of the battery. Looking online, many lead acid battery testers are geared more for car batteries, and report capacity in cold cranking amps, not amp-hours.
Having one that can test UPS batteries (typically 5-10 Ah) and car batteries would be a plus... so being able to report both Ah and CCA would be nice. I'd prefer one under $100... I've seen them range from $30ish to over $400.
Any recommendations?
