Use a multimeter to check the battery when fully charged. It should be about 12.5 volts. Check it when the engine is running and it should be 13.5 volts or higher. If the battery cannot be recharged to 12.5 volts, it is probably bad. That is when you pull it out and take it to a battery store. This has worked for me for more years than most of you guys have been alive,.

I looked at Amazon and found many battery testers (load and conductance) from $15 to $250. Has anyone tried any of these devices and have any suggestions on what to buy or not to buy?
