A battery can show full voltage and still fail to start an engine, which is why voltage alone tells you very little. A tester applies a load or measures conductance to find out what the battery will actually deliver under demand rather than at rest. That is why a battery replaced on a voltage reading alone is often replaced unnecessarily.
Drop testers and digital testers answer that differently. A drop tester puts a real load on and watches the voltage fall, which is direct and needs no interpretation. A digital tester measures and calculates, which is faster and does not heat the battery. Conductance testing also works on a battery too flat for a load test to give a meaningful figure.
Battery voltage has to be covered by the tester, and 6V, 12V and 24V forms are held. Start-stop vehicles need a tester that recognises AGM and EFB batteries, since testing one of those on a conventional setting gives a reading that means nothing. Polarity free drop testers remove the risk of connecting the wrong way round on a busy bench.
A printer matters where the result is shown to a customer or kept as a record. Several digital testers here carry one. Fluid testers cover serviceable batteries where the electrolyte can still be checked directly.
