Is this correct?

Yes, I think that's it. It's a while since I've done it but it should test for leaking diodes. Last time I checked for leaking diodes it was on a Commo and they were leaking 4amps (48watts). Alternator rebuild and all was well.

I bought my last battery from Bursons. Quoted $132 but when I asked if that was the best they could do he changed it to $112. Worth asking the question
