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...

(edit) Here's a video comparing several of them:

(edit again) Here's another test comparison...perhaps better?
