Features
The NEW and improved ELK-BLT v.2 Battery
LifeTester is a compact, easy to use Mhos Meter for
testing 12 Volt rechargeable batteries. Unlike ordinary
testers which only measure static criteria, the LifeTester
measures internal conductivity, which is the best
indicator of a battery’s health and life expectancy. The
conductivity value, expressed in Mhos (the inverse of
Ohms or resistance), is easily compared to benchmark
readings from the included Mhos Chart. The chart then
categorizes the battery condition as “Best, Good, Weak,
or Bad”. Every battery type has a characteristic Mhos
value when it is brand new and fully charged.
