Talking Re: Electrical tester for the lighter outlet $3

The static battery reading if accurate, should be about 12.6 volts and should not decay too much sitting for days. The open voltage of a battery is not a good method of monitoring it but 12.6 is healthy unloaded voltage = assuming it has sat for several hours. Just after turning car off, it will be higher than the true rest voltage.
