Can these testers check the alternator and starter too?

Reviewer consensus

Most digital units in this roundup run a full charging-system test (alternator output under load) and a cranking-system test (voltage drop during start). Basic voltmeter-style testers like the MOTOPOWER MP0514A only read voltage and infer alternator health, which is useful for quick checks but not a true load test.
