Personal battery load tester?
I see a lot of auto battery load testers on Amazon with pretty affordable prices. I not only have to deal with my RV batteries, but have a slew of larger gel cells that run my ranch gates, security system, and a dozen or more UPSes on other critical systems. I was considering that for only around the price of two of the gel cells I typically deal with, it might be cost-effective to get my own load tester so I could perform definitive go/nogos on all my batteries as I need to.
Many of the units talk about testing cranking power. Unlike a car battery, none of the batteries I'm likely to test ever have to do any cranking. So what other stress tests does a handheld need to be able to perform, and does anybody have any specific recommendations for favorite home units?
