3 Reasons to Stop Checking Your Car’s Battery with a Multimeter
Charge Retention: Multimeters may give false readings as car batteries can hold a charge even when their capacity is low.
Low Load Impact: Multimeters have high impedance, putting minimal load on the battery and leading to inaccurate voltage readings.
Better Options: Dedicated battery testers like BA101 with lower impedance provide more reliable results than standard multimeters, ensuring accurate assessments of battery health.

I did not realize that a simple voltage test does not tell you if battery is good or bad. This tester appears to put a load on the battery to see how well it handles the load, and gives an indication of health based on that, as well as the battery's internal resistance.
So really happy I purchased this. Good item for my tool chest.
The trick is to look up the peak current delivery rating for the UPS battery. Then hook up the meter directly to the battery terminals and this powers up the meter. For UPS batteries, I selected out of vehicle tests, CA (not CCA, unless your batteries are really cold), then adjust the CA rating to match the peak current rating of the battery. A few seconds after the start, it comes back with state of charge percentage, and voltage, battery health percentage, and peak amps. It also provides an internal resistance measurement that is good to compare with the battery spec page.
This meter was able to confirm that 2 UPS and one jump starter batteries I purchased 2 years ago and have charged a few times a year are still very healthy, while confirming both batteries in one UPS claiming bad batteries were both very deficient in current delivery, about 20 times the expected internal resistance, and based on voltage just coming out the UPS, one of them had 2 shorted cells. The test cycle still ran, and provided numbers, but suggested charging and trying again. The other UPS, one battery tested clearly defective, but the other one still showed good amperage, and only slightly high internal resistance, so it may well find a use in a different project.
So far, this meter is providing data consistent with what I would expect, that is repeatable, and working on earning my trust.
Do note that this apparently won’t work on many jump start battery packs, likely because the battery charger circuitry appears to interfere with the measurement. Though opening the case and disconnecting the battery should provide a good reading.
Plug for usb is not C and not micro
Must be connected to USB to work.
Junk.

UPDATE: I received a response from Anceltech's customer support team. She assured me that the software did not contain a virus and they would try to fix their web site so Norton anti-virus would not recommend against going there. Well, I tried the web site this very day--and I get a message that the web site's certificate is not valid. So, that issue is not fixed. Until it is, I'm not going to try to download the software again. This is an example of how a company could make a potentially great product, but mess up big time by having an invalid web site certificate, and allowing someone to stick a virus into the software. The software for printing was kludged together in any event. Now, I think the tester itself is great, and you could use it without printing out the results. But I hate it when a feature is advertised and that feature is so problem-laden that it doesn't work properly. So, Anceltech has two very simple things to fix: (1) its web site certificate and (2) cleaning the virus out of its software. Why this is so difficult for them I cannot imagine.
I got this battery and charging system tester because I have been having trouble with the battery in our Ford. The Ford dealership had the car in its shop on two occasions, first taking a month to replace a defective engine, and second, taking three weeks to procure and install a new flywheel in the transmission. At neither of these times was the battery put on a charger. The battery is a Motorcraft premium battery with a 36-month free replacement guarantee---but a week ago I had to get a boost from CAA because it was dead as a doornail. I took it to my mechanic and it tested as good after about a week of driving it every day. But then I got this Ancel battery tester and hooked it up to the battery. Two days ago, the tester showed 100% healthy battery, but zero charge! Today, after more driving, it was up to 12% charge. So tomorrow I'm taking it to the mechanic to have it put on a battery charger all day long. Apparently this battery may have sulphated or otherwise just not got back up to a full charge. If driving it 30 km a day for a week doesn't charge beyond 12%, I know something else is needed. So--stay tuned! I will let everyone know what the tester says after a the battery gets charged up on a trickle charger!
UPDATE: I am lowering the rating to two stars. The battery tester itself is GREAT. However, when you try to access the manufacturer's web site at anceltech.com, Norton Antivirus warns you that it contains a Trojan. Well, I accessed the site anyway, because I was having printing problems, and sure enough--Norton detected a virus inside the software I downloaded. Now, again, the device itself is great--it will tell you things about your battery that are missed by a Snapon unit costing hundreds of dollars. But the manufacturer needs to scrub its web site. Possibly the little mini-disc also contains a virus or malware of some time. You shouldn't get a virus or malware on your computer from visiting the company's web site! When the manufacturer cleans up its software, I will revise my rating accordingly--but right now using the company's software can put your computer at risk.
It tests batteries -- flooded, agm, spiral agm gel. The test takes only seconds and it gives a readout showing what percentage of the battery life remains, voltage, internal resistance, cranking amps. The test can be done with the battery attached to the vehicle, where the starter motor and the charger are also tested...or out of the vehicle.
The only disappointment is that the software for printing results on a personal computer with a cd drive doesn't appear to work, at least not with Windows 10. Only a minor things, as the readouts are all available on the unit's display.
