|    Lead acid battery tester    |

      From: robin_listas@es.invalid              Hi,              I bought yesterday a battery for my UPS at a shop that specializes in       batteries. I had my old battery there, so to get the same type, and I       asked the chap if he had a voltage meter. Something like that, he said.       He brought out a special meter with huge clamps, attached it, and said       the batter had 13.6 volts. Then he tested "load" and said said the       battery gave out only 20 out of 100. I don't know what he was actually       measuring, some time of current over a resistor measurement, I suppose.       It is adjusted for the size of battery.              Do you know what meter could be that thing?              --       Cheers, Carlos.              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
