Very good tester. Allows one to put a good load across the battery, that way you can know in advance if your battery is failing.

Arrived timely, seems well built and solid. I used it to check 30 batteries of my solar generator in one day. It dissipates the waste heat quickly, and I had no issues with this tester.

well, using it to test failed batteries, tells me that they still work.

Load test knob was broken from day one, I’ll need to contact the seller and hope for a painless exchange or refund..as far as the rest of the machine it appears to work well and is built good.
Client d’Amazon –
Je me sert de ce testeur depuis prêt de 25 ans et je test des batteries à tous les jour
C’est bon pour les 6/8/12 volts
Je le recommande
Gary –
Terrible product… do not buy this junk

For the price – it seems like a decent unit.
I haven’t taken it apart, I’ve only used it on 3 batteries, and haven’t used it to load test an alternator, but the voltage and current readings have been verified as accurate, by my fluke meter and amp clamp, and there has been no sign of the heat necessary to cause concern…but I have drawn only 200 amps with it.
It’s an “old school” system. If it starts reading “out of spec” this is easy to adjust as the potentiometers can be trimmed from the face of the device. If it ever fails completely, and you know what you’re doing, it should be a very easy repair – it’s a variable resistor 😉
Amazon Customer –
Wish it had more solid battery clamps. The ones on the unit get very hot under full load test. Other than that, It works as described. Thanks

El aparato funciona perfectamente. Si requieres diagnosticar el voltaje/amperaje que entrega tu acumulador, este articulo soluciona tus problemas. No otorgo las 5 estrellas porque creo que el FJC 45115 se pudo haber fabricado con mejores materiales para una mayor durabilidad; y cuando mencionó esto me refiero a la perilla de control, ya que es un sinfín de aluminio y tiende a barrerse rápidamente si utilizas el producto diariamente. Pero a pesar de esto lo recomiendo y probablemente lo volvería a comprar!

I always review things with respect to their cost. This is a good unit for the price. In my opinion, the quality is good and a little better than i expected at this price point. I opened it up and was pleased to see heat shielding on cables and near the circuit board (used for a 10 or 15 second timer that buzzes). The connections looked solid and I torqued a few of them down more. The clamps and cables are pretty good and flexible.
Before I even used it I wired in a little 12V cooling fan (like what a PC uses). It blows on the carbon pile and that helps it shed heat a lot faster. I hooked it up to a battery and pulled 400 amps for 15 sec and did this about 4-5 times in a row and it got hot but I took it apart later and didn’t see any burn marks or signs of excessive heat.
When I pulled 400 amps, I noticed that I could reach 400 amps then the gauge would slowly drop lower as the heat increased the resistance in the carbon pile and connections. So in 15 seconds it might go from 400 down to 350 or so. When I pulled 300 amps through it the gauge held pretty steady. So the connections seem to be right for 300 amps but your pushing them at 400 amps (but I don’t think you need any more than that really).
Lastly I adjusted the analog voltmeter. Most people adjust these by setting them to zero when you have nothing hooked up, but I don’t think that’s the best way to do it and is often not accurate. I think it’s best to feed in the voltage that matters the most to you, then adjust it to exactly measure that voltage. So I used an adjustable power supply to feed 9.6 volts into it (you could probably use a 9V battery too) then I adjusted the gauge up 0.4 volts so it read exactly 9.6V. The gauge was perfectly on zero before I adjusted it now it’s reading 0.4V with nothing hooked up, but it’s dead on at 9.6V and 12.6V now. That’s the reason I only adjust them with an actual voltage hooked up.
The ammeter is plenty accurate for my liking it measured 50 amps when my amp clamp measured 55 and it measured 400 when my clamp measured 425. Again, I don’t think you need excessive accuracy with the amperage. I think an analog gauge, even on an expensive model, would be about this accurate.
Most of the stuff inside it looks repairable if you ever needed to repair it and yes I’d probably buy it again if I needed to.
