Electrical System Tester

AAA came to my house last Monday to see if my battery needed to be replace. My car wouldn't start. My battery was three years and 3 months old. It did need replacing. The life expectancy is about two years, so my old one did well.

I was impressed with this Midtronics test unit which evaluated the entire electrical system in my 1996 Toyota Carola.. Everything checked out fine. Only the battery needed to be replaced. The service guy replaced it on the spot. It should last another three years, plus or minus.

I am also entitled to a free servicing at a specific auto service center nearby. I love Triple A!!
