3 Reasons to Stop Checking Your Car’s Battery with a Multimeter
Charge Retention: Multimeters may give false readings as car batteries can hold a charge even when their capacity is low.
Low Load Impact: Multimeters have high impedance, putting minimal load on the battery and leading to inaccurate voltage readings.
Better Options: Dedicated battery testers like BA101 with lower impedance provide more reliable results than standard multimeters, ensuring accurate assessments of battery health.

It is a good tool for the price and well built.
The customer service is also excellent.
Anyway ... got it today and used it immediately on 3 older to newer vehicles in my "fleet" as my wife calls it, 1996, 1998, 2015. The 2015 SUV still had its OEM battery, passed. The 1996 truck with a 2 year old battery, passed. The 1998 car was a replace with only a 1 1/2 year old battery. Health reading was below 40% every time I tested it. The alternator test passed on all (3) vehicles and it was nice to see actual data on the screen and it was not just some pre-made number screen, it varied in it's data stream for each vehicle.
Took the 1998 car battery back to the store, they said "well, my tester says it has voltage so it is good." Obviously his "tester" was store "approved" and that is what they go by. I was warned a few years back by the local dealership to watch out for them saying that because voltage is not the only test that should be done on batteries and they had many customers claim that the parts store said the batteries were good while the dealership test said replace.
Screen is a bit small but readable, the menus are intuitive and a little car knowledge helps with the syntax of the questions/options. The print screen was a great add-on, worked under Windows 7 64 bit and was nice to see and show how a bad battery vs a good battery looks like.
By the way, after I got the new battery (tagged 03/18) home and immediately put it into the 1998 car, I tested it without starting the car. The results were great and I will hold on to them and test this battery in 6 months and see if there is any change.

UPDATE: I received a response from Anceltech's customer support team. She assured me that the software did not contain a virus and they would try to fix their web site so Norton anti-virus would not recommend against going there. Well, I tried the web site this very day--and I get a message that the web site's certificate is not valid. So, that issue is not fixed. Until it is, I'm not going to try to download the software again. This is an example of how a company could make a potentially great product, but mess up big time by having an invalid web site certificate, and allowing someone to stick a virus into the software. The software for printing was kludged together in any event. Now, I think the tester itself is great, and you could use it without printing out the results. But I hate it when a feature is advertised and that feature is so problem-laden that it doesn't work properly. So, Anceltech has two very simple things to fix: (1) its web site certificate and (2) cleaning the virus out of its software. Why this is so difficult for them I cannot imagine.
I got this battery and charging system tester because I have been having trouble with the battery in our Ford. The Ford dealership had the car in its shop on two occasions, first taking a month to replace a defective engine, and second, taking three weeks to procure and install a new flywheel in the transmission. At neither of these times was the battery put on a charger. The battery is a Motorcraft premium battery with a 36-month free replacement guarantee---but a week ago I had to get a boost from CAA because it was dead as a doornail. I took it to my mechanic and it tested as good after about a week of driving it every day. But then I got this Ancel battery tester and hooked it up to the battery. Two days ago, the tester showed 100% healthy battery, but zero charge! Today, after more driving, it was up to 12% charge. So tomorrow I'm taking it to the mechanic to have it put on a battery charger all day long. Apparently this battery may have sulphated or otherwise just not got back up to a full charge. If driving it 30 km a day for a week doesn't charge beyond 12%, I know something else is needed. So--stay tuned! I will let everyone know what the tester says after a the battery gets charged up on a trickle charger!
UPDATE: I am lowering the rating to two stars. The battery tester itself is GREAT. However, when you try to access the manufacturer's web site at anceltech.com, Norton Antivirus warns you that it contains a Trojan. Well, I accessed the site anyway, because I was having printing problems, and sure enough--Norton detected a virus inside the software I downloaded. Now, again, the device itself is great--it will tell you things about your battery that are missed by a Snapon unit costing hundreds of dollars. But the manufacturer needs to scrub its web site. Possibly the little mini-disc also contains a virus or malware of some time. You shouldn't get a virus or malware on your computer from visiting the company's web site! When the manufacturer cleans up its software, I will revise my rating accordingly--but right now using the company's software can put your computer at risk.
The unit is well priced and great for the home mechanic. It was dispatched very quickly and even delivered on a Sunday!
Great product, great service!
