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the most part, been superseded by solid state 'battery condition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. <br>

There are dozens on Amazon--all made in you-know-where--here is one
from a well-known brand (NFI):<br>

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

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>
