Hi:

Does anyone have a battery load tester that I can borrow? Preferably in Markham/East End of Toronto/Durham region.
Let me know.

Thanks.

Canadian tire will load test it for free and most junkyards will too.

Sorry I should've been clearer - I want to test it when it has been sitting overnight in the cold, before I start the car in the morning. So if I can borrow the tool, then I can test it in the morning at home.
I did get it tested at PartSource, but I drove to it, so battery was in the car, warmed up/fully charged.

Thanks Steve ;), the starter is ok. The battery is old so just want to do a health check and see if it needs to be replaced.

If you have a Princess Auto hear by they sometimes have the load testers on sale or could look for one on Kijiji. Might be cheaper than to drive to and from another forum member's house.
