I have one that looks exactly like this. I got it from a NAPA store.
It's
been disappointing. It might work fine for 12v car batteries (which after
all is its intended use), but I find it's largely useless for 6v golf car
batteries. It doesn't seem to impose enough of a load for a realistic
test,
and finds only the batteries that I ^already know^ are shot.
You get what you pay for, I guess.
