Testing your car battery part 2

How to check your car battery before you get stranded with a dead battery, some tips on DIY using modern tools. I am showing you an actual test on a car battery using a volt meter and digital battery tester made by OTC. I also show you a voltmeter with an amp clamp to check the starter current and alternator output.

Bio: I attended Wilkes Community College (a technical school) and earned an associate degree in heavy truck repair, I am currently ASE certified as a master in med/heavy truck as a technician. In addition, I also earned a diploma in Business Administration and a certificate in Automotive Electronics.
