How to test if a 12 Volt starter battery is healthy or needs replacement in your EV?
The 12V battery is one of the most important parts in any (electric) car. But how do you know when it is time to replace it? In this video I will show you 3 ways to test, measure and monitor the 12V battery health in your electric car. This will prevent you from getting surprised by an empty or faulty 12V battery on time. Or a car dealer trying to sell you an expensive battery, when it is not yet time and the 12V battery is still full and charging just fine.
Recommended tools to test and monitor your 12V car battery yourself
Here are the recommended tools I used in my video:

Feedback
Did you ever get an empty 12V battery in your electric car and do you also connect an inverter to it for backup power while camping or travelling? Do you test, monitor and replace the 12V battery yourself in your EV? Let me know in the comments and thanks for watching.
