Figuring out what’s wrong with your car is the first step to getting it back on the road. Two of the best tools to make a diagnosis are an OBD2 scanner that reads your vehicle’s onboard diagnostic system and a battery tester that lets you know if a new (or recharged) battery will solve the problem. Right now, Amazon has a single device that combines both functions available for less than half of its typical price.
The Owmsic OBD2 Scanner and Battery Tester is on sale for $40, 60% off of the $100 it will normally cost you. That would be a very good deal on a standalone OBD2 scanner, but the fact that it can also do the job of a battery tester makes this a great deal.
60% OffUnlike other OBD2 testers that rely on Bluetooth connections and smartphone apps, this model is self-contained, with a backlit color LCD screen and simple control panel that make operation simple. As an OBD2 scanner, it can read and clear diagnostic codes (the reasons your check engine lights are lit), reveal whether your can will pass an emissions test, and provide real-time data recording and playback that can help diagnose trickier problems. As a battery tester, it has jumper cable-like connectors that show battery health, lifespan trends, and starting performance.
One shopper called this “an excellent all-in-one tool that every vehicle owner should keep on hand.” They added that it’s “compact, easy to store, and simple to operate” and “powerful, practical, and dependable.”
Another customer wrote that this “compact and very efficient” scanner has been a great help with their new pickup truck. “I love the fact that it scans and gives a full diagnosis but also can test the battery life, which is essential.”
The chance to buy the Owmsic OBD2 Scanner and Battery Tester for just $40 means there’s no excuse not to be prepared the next time your check engine light goes on or your car won’t start. So grab one today, before this deal disappears. Your wallet and your future self will thank you.
