Battery Tester

Interesting piece. A guy offered it to me for $20 when I picked up some old parts cabinets from him. Should make a nice wall hanger.

That's cool!
For $20 I would have
bought it too.[emoji16]

Way cool!

Is it still functional? Probably is for old 6v battery's. Should be possible to test it.

That is for testing across the external straps connecting between cells. It would be measuring 2.1 volts for each cell.

That's the first one of those I've seen. Nice grab

Nice decoration piece and well worth the $20, but you are not going to be testing modern batteries with it.
Back in the day even before my time shops used them to find the bad cell, then you cut the top open and lifted it up and out, installed a new(or more likely good used) cell poured hot tar around the gaps and presto a rebuilt battery was born

What the hand held models weren't good enough for the newtimers? They had to put a cord on it and mount it on a cart?

And the new apprentice ran the tar melter? Yikes!

Looks like a winner to me!
