did they just connect a hand held meter to it, or did they actually put it on the test station and load it down? starter solenoid shorting out on you?

I would take that battery and have it load tested. Putting a meter on it and seeing greater than 10 volts means nothing if there is a bad cell and it can't deliver enough current. Oh, and i am saying that when it comes to electricity in homes and vehicles, my experience has been give or take 2...

apologies if i come across as an *** for quoting post number 5 and high lighting. are you saying the car won't start after the .06 vdc drop? does the car start after the .06 vdc drop? see, after a week of sitting, it won't be the drop of 1.25 vdc that won't start the car, it'll be the lack...

your nearest cliff!

could be any number of things given the voltage range and time you are talking. ambient temperature of the battery. composition of the battery. age of the battery. if connected, acessories running. ecu current draw. etc. batteries don't hold a constant charge forever and certainly can't...

i can only give you the benifit of the doubt on the meter accuracy, but i would not trust it. not when the specs for that on in the 20vdc range is ± 10mv (0.8% of reading + 5 digits). charging system in good shape?

.03 volt drop after 4 hours, .06 after 8. what meter are you using to see this. i ask because unless you have the meter leads bolted to the battery terminals, the meter is calibrated beyond tenths, i'd have to ask why the drop is an issue? i'm just curious.

my price was probably more than i should have paid for this, (in fact taiwanese), set, 90.00, BUT, as stated, they are very nice. will report back on how they work out. one thing i should state right off that i am sure people may have not noticed that are looking at this set, is that the...

Found a local cornwell dealer and met up with him a bit ago. Talked a bit about tool storage and older diagnostic equipment. The main reason for the stop was that i wanted to see that "go thru" ratchet - socket set. Very nice. So nice that i bought a set. I did ask if it was u.s. but he could...

if you have any one of these, i am interested.

watching this thread. (though it reminds me of the kirby vacuum salesman that told me i could use my car as a down payment on a vacuum.... :eyecrazy:)

it's silicone tape. just like the 3m #70: http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/3MElectrical/Home/ProductsServices/ProductCatalog/?PC_7_RJH9U52300RQ50ISL93Q0T24Q5_nid=HLBWQ05M2XbeBSXL21QFQTgl if you are using it to wrap wire, do it small pieces at a time. peel about 5 inches or so from...

does anyone else here have one of these? i need a HUGE favor. i need a picture of the interior, specifically, the component side of the circuit board. THANKS!

i'll tell you. since i have picked up this 85 truck, i've learned again the value of decent tools, not to mention the fact that it seems i am the go to guy for helping friends do brake jobs and stuff like that. having seen some decent boxes, i am tempted to sell a couple of firearms to help...

if i recall correctly, this box pictured in the original post seemed heavier than it appears. the lid on the top box seemed heavier than i expected. all the drawers open and closed smoothly. as far as outgrowing, i have enough tools to fill up the 2 kennedy boxes i have, but, i do keep a few...

seller won't budge below 200. just got an american legion magazine that has a coupon for one of those us general boxes for 149.00

i'm gonna guess his name isn't "ever" either. :lol_hitti

and WHOA do they get pricey. trying to limit my budget on one, but i spotted this unit for 200.00 opinions?

thanks for posting that site. i found them in the 79-80 catalogs. they are the mt-8xx series meters. they are nice for what they are, but i don't think i'll be buying them unless the seller drops the price.

at the local swap meet, there is a fellow who i've been picking up test equipment from. he has about half a dozen snap on analog meters. i recall one being an ignition meter, another being a voltmeter, a tachometer and there was a magnetic tachometer. these are in stamped steed cases with...
