Default Re: Battery Load Tester - 100 or 130 amp?

Golf cart batteries eat that size load testers for breakfast.
Your golf cart is a great load tester drawing 3-400 amps at times.
You can connect a digital voltmeter to the pack and see how far the voltage drops when you drive up a hill. Those voltage readings coupled with the battery's SG readings & battery age will give a very good idea what you have.

If you are a golf cart shop you need a 500 amp carbon pile tester or a draw-down machine. I hope this helps.
