Foxwell BT100 car battery tester
If you want to catch battery problems before they leave you in the lurch, the Foxwell BT100 is a cracking bit of kit to keep handy. Designed for 12V batteries, it lets you check the health of your car’s battery in seconds – no faffing about or guesswork. Whether you’re prepping for a long drive, sorting out a dodgy motor, or just like staying one step ahead, this tester tells you straight if your battery’s fighting fit or on its last legs.
It measures cold cranking amps (CCA) from 100 right up to 1100, so it works spot-on with most cars on British roads, from city runarounds to chunkier motors. The easy-to-read LCD makes it a doddle to use, even if you’re more tea-and-biscuits than tools-and-toolkit. It’ll flag up bad cells, dodgy voltages and poor performance, with clear results that make sense.
The BT100 is compact and built tough, so it won’t take up much space in your glovebox or tool bag. It works with all the usual suspects – lead-acid, AGM, and GEL batteries – so you can use it for your motor, motorbike, or even the odd caravan. No need to be a garage wizard; just clip it on, follow the prompts, and you’ll know where you stand in no time.
Top tip: Give your battery a quick test every couple of months, especially before the cold weather kicks in. That way, you’ll dodge those annoying non-start mornings and keep your car ticking over nicely.
