What’s the best tool to keep in my car for emergencies?

How can I test my car battery at home?
A battery tester or multimeter is perfect for checking your car’s battery health. Just connect the tester to the battery terminals, and it will show you the charge level and overall condition. It’s a simple way to catch issues before your battery fails.
