Car battery health device?
Been thinking about battery jumper/ booster since this morning. I am thinking about getting this device that shows the total health of a battery some mentioned here before but can't seem to find the thread or know what the actual name is, inexpensive too.
Since I drain the battery to the point that only goes click, I wounder if any damage had done. I need overall reliability on this truck |

I use Antigravity batteries and have Bluetooth monitors on them used with an app. Here the lead acid one: https://antigravitybatteries.com/products/accessories/battery/chargers/bluetooth-tracker-lead-acid/

I had a completely drained battery in my 911 and my jump starter wouldn't turn it over. I purchased a NOCO Genius 10 that restored the battery and allowed it to charge again. Might be worth a look for your needs.

I think maybe look is thinking of a battery analyzer? These measure the milliamps of resistance between posts. The gives a readout...more accurate than the old load testers we're all familiar with.
Here's an example of one... https://www.northerntool.com/products/topdon-battery-analyzer-and-charging-system-tester-for-12v-batteries-model-bt100-5701893?cm_mmc=Bing-pla&utm_source=Bing_PLA&utm_medium=Automotive%20%3E%20Automotive%20Repair% 20Tools%20%3E%20Automotive%20Diagnostics&utm_campaign=TOPDON&utm_content=5701893&cmpid=53403372&agid=3200075881&tgtid=pla-4577473070981021:aud-805595778&prdid=5701893&ogmap=SHP|PLA|BING|STND|c|SITEWIDE||Auto%20Repair% 20-%20SC|Auto%20Repair%20-%20SC||53403372|3200075881&gclid=ea5b10f99a2f1140622176df0d72843f&gclsrc=3p.ds&msclkid=ea5b10f99a2f1140622176df0d72843f (edit) Here's a video comparing several of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6GQfSqow5Q&ab_channel=BestGadgets (edit again) Here's another test comparison...perhaps better? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7A4diHowjs&ab_channel=BradleysGarage

I picked up a Konnwei KW208 tester online, $25ca appears to work well. I have used a Noco Genius 5 with restore on my old battery from my 2500HD, it's not being used right now but holds a charge again. I would try that on your truck batteries if the condition appears damaged.

As far as health testing ONLY, I got a SOLAR brand device - you tell it what type, what the original CCA was, and it will tell you pass fail and how many CCA are left... That thing spotted many batteries other testers found good that were NOT...
example below: https://www.amazon.com/BA9-40-1200-Digital-Battery-System/dp/B00IZFNJ6Y/ref=sr_1_2?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.fVuNf-DmZqFXRfDfH37UQDE3EJ6Y7TQTmoqpSgvdk4hhEL-Cjhm6aOB5cM_WZaKxHccL4oK_RVIhVnc7AiSLDlspGkMGzjajn W3aaZKCsj_e3Zzz4RzSTbpDRrsj45r3rBqTi-od7HwWI4qStzA0KFJXrMzm0WFS06mZqGWKNoIAzK09QwTpB9kU csuIqvDEEjUdupKEIrdx5OSQY9n_uCVqiKbDhTJxRsp3oTfcGJ hMwSJKkRP5FSkoH7CP66LKu6Y4JHWc49lgPpPpL6nAociudnsz 7pOA95IMTdz0y40.ICzClVXO2hEqbL1b9niL4WA4tzZGAJI0p8 h78U5-X9s&dib_tag=se&keywords=solar%2Bbattery%2Btester&qid=1713894576&sr=8-2&th=1 |
