Hi All,
With recent talk of solar battery charging and motorcycle battery chargers etc I was looking about to see if anyone had an affordable solution for testing realistic battery capacity out there.
I seemed to keep Googling the IBT-Gold (and Red / Blue) devices and wondered if anyone had actually used one in anger and what did they think please?
I'm not sure if I actually understand how it works (the description looks a bit vague to me) but that may not matter if it actually works in practice.
They are quite expensive (to me anyway) but with some replacement motorcycle (and car / golf buggy) batteries now up round the £100 mark and being involved in that sort of thing with 4 cars, 6 motorbikes and numerous Leisure / other batteries etc it could be considered an investment?
There have been many times when a battery might appear to do it's thing, maybe after a good bench charge etc but it would be (very) nice to know what it's actual capacity is (other than by doing a conventional C20 discharge test etc).
Cheers, T i m
