Yep. I have one of these in my rollaway. NOT a load tester, it measures milliamps of resistance between the posts. First fully charge the battery, then test. You tell it the CCA rating of your battery. It gives you an actual CCA reading, tells you the %age of efficiency..whether the battery is good or bad. It's very possible for a battery to read 12V on a multimeter and still be bad. There are youtube "how to videos" on this unit..
