Ancel AD410 PRO OBD+Battery | Owner’s Review

Ancel AD410 is an interesting tool that can not only scan your car for faults but also run tests for your battery and alternator. I tested it as both a code reader and battery tester and here is what I found.

Example of a bad battery

This is an old battery from my garage. A bad battery will have a low health %.

You can also have a battery with good health, but low on charge.
