[NSRCA-discussion] Advice on battery checkers

[glmiller3 at suddenlink.net]

Gray,

I like the "Eight Ball" tester from Fromeco.  It reads voltage unloaded and then with a 1 amp load.  Nice aluminum case and readout with no switches or buttons to confuse the issue.

Since it appears my new plane crash was due to a "new" battery failure or 
some kind of high drain, it is time to get back into the habit of checking 
the stinkin' batteries before every flight. This is a habit I had early 
on, but 8 years in pattern and no battery problems made me lazy. I used to 
have that cheapo $19.95 hobbico Expanded Volatge reader or some such, but 
what is out there that I really should be using for my new $2000+ 
airplane?   Please let me know what you guys think!
