The pic is what's commonly called a 'load tester.' They have, for the
most part, been superseded by solid state 'battery condition testers,'
which provide much more information (for instance, internal resistance
and state of charge). I have a load tester on the shelf gathering dust,
while my condition tester is now my go-to. It doesn't hurt to have both;
if the load tester you have still functions I'd keep it and get a
condition tester.
There are dozens on Amazon--all made in you-know-where--here is one from
a well-known brand (NFI):

ps. There's a reason you only connect a load tester for a few seconds:
the cables will start to melt.

I am looking t get a battery tester for testing condition of car
batteries. My Dad has an older one with the Century and Nesco
brands on it (picture attached). He got it a long time ago but
it has performed well. I am looking for a good quality version
of the same style of tester. I have come across the Milton
1260M. Made in China of course, but does anyone have any
experience with this model? Any other recommendations for a good
quality tester?</div>
