Waste of time
I thought this device was total rubbish. Tested it on my battery and all the lights came on! Same with my alternator. Thankfully Argos customer service was good enough to refund me.

Hi Skinna,

Thanks for using Q&A,
Hello, thank you for the question. This product is suitable for all 12 volts DC systems. It would thus not be suitable for a 6v battery. Regards, Hilka Tools
Hello, thank you for the question. No it cannot be used as a continuity tester. It is only suitable for checking the car battery and alternator. Regards, Hilka Tools
