In a recent video, I made a mistake — and I need to own it. I tested a car battery using my TopDon BT200 and mistakenly used the CA (Cranking Amps) rating instead of CCA (Cold Cranking Amps). That’s a big error when it comes to accurate testing. I’ve been wrenching on cars for decades, but I’m still a DIYer, not a certified mechanic — and sometimes, I get it wrong. This short is my honest correction, and I want to thank everyone who called it out and held me to a higher standard. We all keep learning, and that’s what this community is about. 🙌 #BatteryTesting #CarBatteryMistake #TopDonBT200 #ColdCrankingAmps #DIYCarRepair #MechanicFail #HonestMechanic #CarRepairTips #OwnYourMistake #LearnFromMistakes #BatteryTestCorrectly #CarDIYer #TransparentContent #AutomotiveEducation going to need back up from my boys ‎⁨@J-WHO312⁩  ‪@adventureswithken1983‬ ‪@PowerStrokeJude‬ ‪@DaleLucid‬
