Review: I like it and it does its job. - Works well, inexpensive for what it does. It is not possible to fully check a battery or charging system without putting a load on them and this unit does that accurately and easily. Easy to use and able to test many systems on the car. The big tool MFG's charge so much more for a similar product. The only thing that would be nice is a separate inductive clamp for amps but then it would be thousands not hundreds. Clamps and cables are good and seem like they will hold up and with a fan on the carbon pile it will keep it cool and last for awhile. ## Features - Variable load capability to 1000 Amps - Tests batteries to 2000CCA - Enables Starter and Alternator assessment - Large, easy-to-read gauges,Operating Voltage : 6/12/24 Volt,Cable Reach : 56"Inch - Heavy-duty clamps penetrate corrosion on battery terminals ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B015NC88HQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #219,037 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #186 in Battery Testers | | Brand | Clore Automotive | | Brand Name | Clore Automotive | | Color | Factory | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 147 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00010271024520 | | Included Components | 1000 Amp 6/12/24V Carbon Pile Battery Tester | | Item Dimensions | 16.5 x 16 x 11.5 inches | | Item Type Name | 1000 Amp Carbon Pile Battery Load Tester (6/12/24 Volt) | | Item Weight | 8.8 Pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 16.5 x 16 x 11.5 inches | | Manufacturer | Clore Automotive | | Measurement Type | Ammeter | | Minimum Operating Voltage | 6 Volts | | Model | Solar 1876 | | Part Number | 1876 | | Power Source | Hand Powered | | Specification Met | 6/12/24 Volt Operating Voltage Standard | | Style | 1000 Amp | | Style Name | 1000 Amp | | UPC | 010271024520 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 120 Degrees Fahrenheit | | Warranty Description | 1 Year Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Clore Automotive - **Power Source:** Hand Powered - **Style:** 1000 Amp - **Color:** Factory - **Item Weight:** 8.8 Pounds ## Images ![Clore Automotive Solar 1876 1000 Amp Carbon Pile Battery Load Tester, One Size, Factory - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81HYhOKdzZL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does the 500 amp model have pure 100% copper wire or is it aluminum wire that is copper coated?

Heavy built. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like it and it does its job. *by R***R on December 17, 2025* Works well, inexpensive for what it does. It is not possible to fully check a battery or charging system without putting a load on them and this unit does that accurately and easily. Easy to use and able to test many systems on the car. The big tool MFG's charge so much more for a similar product. The only thing that would be nice is a separate inductive clamp for amps but then it would be thousands not hundreds. Clamps and cables are good and seem like they will hold up and with a fan on the carbon pile it will keep it cool and last for awhile. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well, really well *by G***E on December 14, 2022* I was a bit nervous about ordering this unit because of a few negative reviews. But, I decided to give it a chance as the specs were solid, and the positive responses far outweighed the negative ones. I already have a really nice Sun VAT-40, which is an excellent unit despite being nearly 40 years old. Those thing were built to last a few lifetimes. But, I wanted a smaller, more portable portable unit that could handle more than 500 amps for a load test, just because. I did a load test on a recently charged battery side by side with our Sun VAT-40. I found the amperage and voltage meters were plenty accurate, and the carbon pile was easily able to put a 500 amp load on the test battery. I rarely use the unit, but when I do I find it is a solid performer. ## Frequently Bought Together - Clore Automotive Solar 1876 1000 Amp Carbon Pile Battery Load Tester, One Size, Factory - Klein Tools 55482 Tool Bag Backpack, Heavy Duty Tradesman Pro Tool Organizer with 21 Pockets and Large Interior, Water Resistant - Deke Home - Fireproof Welding Blanket 4x6 ft, Heavy-Duty Fiberglass Fire Shield for Welding, Heat Resistant 1,000°F, Fire Retardant, Fireproof Insulation Blankets for Home, Kitchen & Industrial Use --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/21380579-clore-automotive-solar-1876-1000-amp-carbon-pile-battery-load](https://www.desertcart.us/products/21380579-clore-automotive-solar-1876-1000-amp-carbon-pile-battery-load) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
