will this tester test agm batteries
612973
The instructions that came with it say its a"diagnostic tool designed to test 12v lead acid type batteries rated from 125 to 1400 CCAs" ....

This is not a carbon pile tester. it test electronically so yes it will test AGM's

I use a Genius G3500 Charger/Maintainer. It has a special charging mode for AGM batteries. Just make sure to use a charging system that is smart enough to charge and manage AGM batteries. By the way, the Vmaxtanks MR107 12v 85AH battery is wonderful. I highly recommend this product.

Hi R.W., this tester will certainly tell you if smaller batteries are in good shape but it is kind of over kill as it works by resistance testing. Kind of like plugging a toaster onto your battery. It will draw a lot of juice off the battery in just one test with smaller batteries so if they are weak you will know it fast and they will likely need a recharge afterward. I use it for 4 and 8 D size batteries for starting large diesel engines. I would suggest a lighter amp load tester for what you are doing. Something around a 50 amp range. Hope this helps.

Yes, you could. But, the life of the battery would be reduced. Agm batteries have special charge requirements. And you would be mixing old and new batteries together. Battery performance can only run as good as the oldest one and would bring the life of the new down to match the older one. All batteries for best results should match type, size, and age. spend an extra $100 and get a good quality charger.

In my opinion, this tester is suitable for detecting good from dead batteries, and that's how I use it. For anything that is not full but has some life left in it, I would treat it as dead and in need of charge.

Yes, the tester has separate terminals for lithium AA and lithium AAA cells. The Energizer Ultimate Lithiums can be expected to have somewhat longer useful life than "ordinary" lithium cells, but the tester will accurately show their condition. This is simply the best tester out there, and if you're like me, you'll quickly realize what a good investment it is.

The drawer only holds two spare batteries. The tester is the gold plate where you put the plus side down on to test old battery.

Yes this tester can apply a load for testing and evaluating the condition of Sealed Lead Acid batteries

Yes it can. From the manual "The testers are compatible with a wide range of battery types,including Conventional, Maintenance Free, AGM, Gel Cell, Marine and Deep Cyclebatteries."

AGM Batterys have the same charging specs as Lead Acid battery' (shttp://www.bdbatteries.com/mcharging_procedures.php) so no problem. The charge info is found here (http://www.progressivedyn.com/prod_details/rv_conv/rv_converter_pd9245c_2.html).

I believe the ZTS Mini Battery Tester - ZTS MINI-MBT will test it. It will test a 3 volt lithium photo battery. Note that it is expensive, BUT it is a pulse tester and NOT a voltage tester. Bottom Line is it very good and works great.

Probably not. If your batteries aren't marked as AGM batteries, this isn't the charger for you. AGM batteries charge at a higher voltage then conventional lead acid batteries. BatterMinder does make a charger for regular lead acid batteries. You can check their web site for the correct model, then check Amazon for a good price.

I have not used this particular product. To test batteries you need to know more than just what the voltage is, you have to know the voltage drop of the battery when a load is supplied. If your talking about a car battery places like Autozone will check your battery for free.http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/dcex6.html

If the generator has clean output I see no reason that the BatteryMinder AGM could fail to charge a big AGM battery. A cleaner solution might be to charge the bank direct from the solar cells, as long as the solar array doesn't have enough power to overcharge the AGM bank.

it works with agm batteries which are sealed so i,m sure it will work with a sealed battery as long as its rechargeable

This tester will show any voltage across its probes, AC or DC. So, the answer is yes, it will register 3.6 if your battery is good. It is a good tester, the only downside being the letters around the dial are in dark ink on a dark background. You may need a flashlight to set the dial.

Absolutely! Matter of fact this multi-tester is so powerful, handy and easy to use, and with auto range feature; for instant, if you want to test your battery, just slide the switch to volt and read voltage instantly. This one is always in my pocket, every time when I want to test something quick, am always grab this one instead of my other big and expensive ones. My son always wants to borrow this little one for his robot project. Trust me, you will love it.
