The link worked for me and I agree with Paul - this looks like it is designed
for AC. You may be able to find a continuity tester for DC systems, designed
for static timing as well as other purposes for a few dollars (or euros). I
used to use one to time my MGs during my poor college days. But anymore, with
cheap Chinese tools and vendors like Harbor Freight, you can get a decent
digital volt meter that tells you resistance, voltage, and maybe even amps for
less than $20 USD that would be way more useful for those inevitable
electrical problems.

I get an SQL error for that link, probably means it is not suitable for
classic cars ...
There are a number of non-contact voltage detectors around, but they seem to
need a minimum of 50v, and AC.
