I use a conductance tester, the battery doesn't need to be fully charged for good data.

Almost all techs use a conductance tester because they don't have the time to wait for a battery to fully charge to determine if it is good or bad.

But when the battery is in the 'gray' area, a load tester on a fully charged battery can be helpful.

Kinda expensive for a one off use though. I inherited a cheap load tester but still have not used it personally for my vehicles. I would have to buy a $150 or better piece of equipment and sit it till I find a use for it. OTOH, I can charge it up, take it in for testing, leave it for tomorrow and see how it discharged in 24 hours for free. Just another thought.

Got it towed to my dealer, turned out to be a failed fuel pump and fuel pump wiring harness. Saw picture of fuel pump wiring harness and it appeared burnt.

The repair was around $2600, fortunately, my extended warranty covered it. That was the second time in 3 months I had to have the whole subframe dropped to have work done on the car.

Don't worry about it. It's not on your dime that you're going to get a new part.
