Something that:

Holds the battery in position so I don't have to use test leads
Has a built-in load so I can get a realistic measurement
Has a voltmeter instead of green, yellow, and red

IOW, the battery tester I've always wanted. Only one of the ones I saw on Amazon had a load. Or rather, one out of four people who answered the question said it did, the other three said it didn't.

Beautiful and a bit too expensive for my needs.


I suppose I could take an Amazon Special apart and put a resistor in it.
