I did some reading up on those new technology type battery testers a while back. Seem they some how are supposed to be able to tell if a battery is good wether it is charged or dead. Some thing about "impedence" I think and sending a small amount of current through the battery. Don't really remember right now. But , like you said , a good load tester will ,(not the fixed load type) with a good understanding of how to apply it and interpet the reading , show you if a battery is capable of supplying needed current at required voltage to do the job at hand. Just this morning I took my old Allen load tester out and checked a pair of batterys for customer. That particular carbon pile tester was in the shop when I started to work at that dealership in 1958. About ten years ago, the outfit that bought out the dealer, (I left shortly after they bought it) threw the tester out and one of the guys that still worked there took it home and as it didn't work any more said I could have it. Well, I got it fixed up again and although it isn't perfect, I still use it all the time for testing batteries as well as loading systems when testing and repairing alternators. Kind of like an old friend to me. Been through a lot together. .
