Cost about $50-60 bucks, works on any 6 or 12 V system........and won't kill anything in the process................

Ehh.. battery tester need to match the amp of the battery.. if you test a 600amp battery with a 50amp tester, you 'may' not have a valuable result :P From my experience, those 50$ tester are best suit for small motorcycle battery :P
