Have you seen a doctor about your paranoia? The 'parts stores' around here will test a car battery under load & for free. I see more people with Harbor Freight's chargers than the ones sold at 'parts stores'.

-- Anyone wanting to run for any political office in the US should have to have a DD214, and a honorable discharge.
I had an old starter motor bolted to a lump of wood for checking batteries - would've been a more realistic test if it was bolted to an engine, but such as it was.
-- So what you were really testing was the lump of wood's resistance to a transient moment arm instead of the starter motor's ability to deliver
Unfortunately its not a binaries - so I can't draw pictures to help you understand!
-- Poor baby. Try words, or post a picture to a site of your choosing.
If you bring in a zero-volt, totally discharged battery, what do they do?
Declare it dead, usually, and sell you a new one.
I see more
Will they put current into zero volts?

What kind of thieves or fools do you deal with? Hell, even Sears will take a large jump pack to start your vehicle, if it's in their part of a mall parking lot. I have never had one try to sell me a battery, but they will suggest that the battery may have been damaged by being completely discharged. That depends on how long it sat that way. If anything, I have found the suppliers to be too conservative on replacing parts. Of course, I grew up in a town with multiple heavy industries, not places that cater to know nothing snobs. Destin Florida was like that. The wholesalers and supply houses wouldn't sell to anyone that wasn't in their specific trade. I had to threaten more than one that I would contact their corporate offices, and the branches I normally dealt with before I could buy TFFN/THHN wire or 4" copper pipe.

No doubt many have noticed, my "attitude and demeanor" are only directed at you - and only when you ask for it (which is most of the time!).
-- Attitude and demeanor can't be "directed" in that they're characteristics of the person _doing_ the directing.
You must have one humdinger of an inferiority complex if you think that!!!
-- Being able to recognize disease doesn't mean being susceptible to it.
If you say so Napoleon.
-- I'm not the one without an exit strategy, and you seem condemned to be unable to extricate yourself from this Waterloo.
I took pity on you because you're a sad lonely old fart who can only get attention by picking a quarrel.
-- If, by "picking a quarrel", you meant correcting technical errors made by you and your ilk, then you're right.
That's only fair after all - you make enough technical errors for the rest of us to pick up on.
Although you're such an ill tempered cuss, most people walk on by hoping not to attract your attention!
Prima donnas seem to be that way >:-}
With Ian you're wasting your time. I've never seen anyone quite so pompously ignorant. ...Jim Thompson
