In my younger days I used to test batteries with my tongue, kept me going all day. ?

I still do that with PP9's

ACT tend to be the go-to for most FD&A contractors I've found. If you're doing FD&A as part of an FD&A company (and not as a 1 man band job), generally these are supplied by the employer.

I wish my employer was that generous. We have to supply our own power tools, hand tools and any testers. Only items they have are the solo fire test kits and a MFT.

If your employer insists the batteries are tested ask him how you can do it without them supplying the equipment?

Very true, but they don’t care. I would rather do the job properly even if my employer won’t. I’m looking to move on when I have my qualifications anyway. Plus I’m looking to go into Electrical but after a year of trying I couldn’t get an employer to take me on. I need to do my Portfolio, T&I and AM2.

If you don't have a good quality car battery tester, you'll never really have an accurate idea of what condition your battery is in and how much of a charge it's really capable of retaining.

One of the most overlooked aspects of vehicle maintenance is making sure your battery is in good working order. An unexpected car battery failure can throw a spanner in the works. A car battery tester is a cost-effective way to test your battery and make sure it's in good condition before you set off.
