Default any good?

No, but the spec. sounds good.


A mate has a more expensive one that he considers to be good.

I cannot see a clip on current probe, so
no idea how they assess that.


For charging I believe they monitor the 'lift' in voltage from loaded
with engine off to with it running.

I like how they describe the DB15 connector as an OBD connector. ;-)

If there is *any* sort of current carried up the fairly heavy leads,
I'm guessing they must have wired the DB15 plug and socket with
multiple pins shorted each side / end?

Such a tool might be 'ok' for people who don't know how to use a DMM
as I'm not sure how useful most of the other things that you couldn't
do with a DMM are?
