Its ergonomic black rubber paint finish and lightweight design make it an essential tool for mechanics and DIYers alike, ensuring quick, accurate battery health checks anytime, anywhere. ## Description It provides a quick reading to determine if a vehicle battery needs a jump or replacing and also the alternator output status. Various Colored LEDs indicate the battery or the alternator status, while the LCD digital screen give the accurate reading of the voltage simutaneously. a) - Why does the LCD screen not turn on when connectting the battery tester with batteries? b) - The LCD screen does not display correct value. c) - The LED indicators for the alternators side do not turn on but only the LED indicators for the battery side turn on when testing the alternator output. d) - The value on the LCD screen is flucturant. e) - The LCD screen does not turn on but only the Red reverse LED turn on. ## Features - Effortless Operation - Boasting a “plug-and-test” design, there's no need for complex set-up procedures. Just connect it to the battery following simple steps. Without starting the vehicle, you can read the battery status, and after starting, quickly obtain the alternator status. Whether you're a professional mechanic or an ordinary car owner, you can easily use it to quickly determine if the battery needs jump - starting, replacement, or if the alternator output is normal. - Reliable Safety Features - Equipped with reverse connection protection and over-voltage protection functions. Even if you accidentally connect the positive and negative poles wrongly or encounter excessive voltage, it can effectively safeguard the tester and the vehicle's circuit, greatly reducing the risks caused by operational errors and making users feel more at ease. - Precise Testing Results - Fitted with a 4-digit digital LCD display, it offers voltage testing accuracy up to 0.01 volts, providing accurate voltage readings. Additionally, it comes with 8 colored LED indicators that intuitively show the status of the battery or the alternator. The dual-indication design makes test results clear and easy to understand, offering a precise basis for judging the conditions of the battery and charging system. - Wide Compatibility - The testing voltage range spans from 4 to 20V DC, suitable for detecting the voltage of 12V car batteries and various other devices. The 50cm long extension cable, combined with 30A alligator clips, enables convenient and flexible connections, adapting to different testing scenarios. - Durable and Comfortable Design - The surface of the device is treated with black rubber paint, offering a comfortable hand-feel and a stable grip that's not easy to slip.

WITH ENGINE ON IT SHOWS BOTH BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CONDITION. **Q: Does it come with batteries included?** A: It powers up off the battery being tested. No batteries needed. **Q: Why didnt mine come with directions** A: I don't know why. But just connect to battery, read the voltage, go to the charts which tell % charge as a function of voltage-then you know status of the battery. I purchased a second one, put on long wires so I can see if my alternator is charging as I go down the road. Unbelievably accurate for the cheap price. Strong recommendation Jay **Q: With my engine running I get voltage indicated and lights on the battery side of the unit. No lights on the alternator side. Is the unit defective?** A: I'm not a mechanic, but all I do is first I check the voltage of the battery without having started the vehicle. Next I start the engine and check the battery voltage while the engine is idling. While the engine is idling I usually show about 13.8 volts on the tester. ## Frequently Bought Together - MOTOPOWER MP0514A 12V Digital Car Battery Tester Voltmeter and Charging System Analyzer with LCD Display and LED Indication - Black Rubber Paint - MOTOPOWER MP00205A 12V 800mA Automatic Battery Charger, Maintainer, Trickle and Desulfator - NOCO GENIUS1, 1A Smart Car Battery Charger, 6V and 12V Automotive Charger, Battery Maintainer, Trickle Charger, Float Charger and Desulfator for Motorcycle, ATV, Lithium and Deep Cycle Batteries --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/28399712-motopower-mp0514a-12v-digital-car-battery-tester-voltmeter-and-charging](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/28399712-motopower-mp0514a-12v-digital-car-battery-tester-voltmeter-and-charging) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-23*
