[RE-wrenches] 2 vdc load testers

[R Ray Walters]

Hey Dana;

I just found this new Amprobe Battery tester the other day when I was coming up with my Santa wish list. 
I don't know if I've been a good enough boy though, they retail I think for about $700.

They also have a portable IV tester for PV modules, but it only does individual modules, not strings (limited to 60 v)
