    I dunno about you darlings...but seriously, how often do you check to see if you're battery is healthy? Perhaps I'm just lazy...really lazy considering I have a tester at work that takes all of 5 minutes.

    . I suppose I'm just cynical, on account of the amount of people I have to go jump start (our own cars included!)

    ive got one sitting here at home.......and i dont bother to test my batteries......


    as far as im concerned....its either working or its not......
    if i get stuck.....i can just ring SWMBO to come and pick me up or jump start me......

    if i was to go on a long long long long...........long drive across oz on my own say.......
    then i would definitely be either testing or replacing the batteries prior to the trip.......


    out in the middle of nowhere is not a real good time to discover your battery has finally dropped a cell......

    I have a load tester here and I'm forever testing other people’s batteries for them but I’m with zook on this one.

    I honestly have no idea when I last tested ANY of my own vehicle’s batteries.

    Cheers

    The last time I turned the key was my last batteries test.
    It passed.

    i liked that too.......

    how much whinging do you get when you test a customers battery and it fails......according to the computerised tester......
    yet everything still works fine......and the customer just cant fathom the fact the battery isnt up to capacity.....
