   Lead acid battery tester

   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.
