Midtronics PBT300 Battery Charging Starting System Tester

Please be aware that there is a kit version and a non kit version of this item. The Midtronics Web site () displays the kit version with terminal adapters needed for side terminal batteries and a storage pouch. You will not get the side terminal adapters or the storage pouch with this item from Amazon.com, or at least I didn't. I found out this information by emails from Midtronics. The shown accessories lead partly to my decision to purchase the more expensive PBT300 model. The impression that I got from Midtronics email communications is that they didn't seem to care whether or not I got the accessories. They stopped communicating. It's sort of a "They gotcha" thing.

The unit seems to work O.K.

I don't normally write reviews, but I was a bit ticked about the accessories shown under the PBT-300 specifications tab on the Midtronics web site that were not supplied. Item only rated 4 stars because of the deception. The Midtronics web site offers no distinction between "kit" and "non kit" versions as of 11/30/2009.

I bought this battery diagnostic tool so I could troubleshoot electrical systems. It cut my time in half. It is real easy and user friendly to use. I am a mechanic and I have used it over sixty times since I bought this. Great product!

Battery tester works as stated. CCA settings, however, do no line up with all battery ratings. Settings are in increments of 20 and does not line up with my battery rating.. My battery is 750 and I had a choice of 740 or 760. Go figure??

I brought this charger because I work on vehicles and knew it would come in handy. I had the $60 cheaper version and I think that it does everything that this $215 model does except tell you the top voltage for the alternator and the low voltage for the starter. If I had to do it all over again I would have brought the cheaper model. I gave this four stars because it does what it says it would do...pruittjr1
