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/

Good find.

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 have a cheap Amazon pulse repair charger. If that device can't fix my battery, then it's time for a new battery. A decent battery is not expensive, and a dead battery is pain in the ass at best.

My battery will either start my car in cold weather, or it won't. I don't care about health.

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?

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:
