    Posted by George on May 16, 2020 at 6:23 pm

    is the standard battery tester sufficient to test an 8 D

    held test button till coils b came cherry red and waited another 15 second before discontinuing test . According to tester it was a good battery. Voltage dropped to 11.8 and went to 12 .8 when I stopped test cycle.

    A toaster (old style battery tester) will not accurately test an AGM. You can use by using a multi meter to read the voltage while pushing the toggle switch that puts the load on the battery.
