Recommendation for charging system tester

Robert Shackelford · Jun 10, 2022

I searched the forum but didn't find anything specific to my question.

If there's anyone that works directly at Toyota service department at a dealer, what charging system tester (trickle charger combination all the better) do you guys actually use? Make/model. Anyone else, if you have significant charging systems experience with testers, what do you recommend?

I see charging systems testers advertised on Amazon all the time. Scotty Kilmer recently recommended one that was around $55.00. I purchased a Norco trickle charger several years ago for use in the colder months, and it has worked as advertised.

It seems you mean NOCO? I don't find anything on Norco.
What's the model number?

Don't recall the model #. I believe it is a 2 amp trickle charger. Maybe NOCO. Google their products and you will see a variety of trickle chargers. More amps they put out the higher the price. Regards

I use the Solar BA-9 12V Battery and System Tester. $58 on Amazon. Not a charger but an effective tester.

My first go-to is a simple tester. This tests an actual load on the battery (while car is turned off). It also will show charging voltage when running.
