Where can I get a digital, hand held, battery tester that will read in 1/10 increments?

old farmer, I take it that you are looking for 12V.

This appears to be a fair priced unit that reads in tenths

Since haven't mentioned how you intend to use the tester, I'm going to assume that you want it to measure your battery voltage to 1/10 of a volt. If that's all you want, then an in-expensive DVM will work fine. They are readily available for around 10 bucks or less. Put it on the 20V DC range and measure.

I guess I was negligent in not stating it would be used to check the voltage in the camper batteries. I just assumed everyone would figure it that way.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Have you had any experience with this particular tester?

Old Farmer, not with that particular tester. Have used other Solar units. I use one of my digital multimeters for quick tests because I have several handy.
