BT460 Battery System Tester

AUTOOL BT460 battery tester can quickly and accurately diagnose car battery and charging problems. Checking the battery with the BT460 ensures that the battery is in good condition before driving the vehicle. This provides vehicle technicians and owners with important information about the battery's health, making it safer and more reliable.

3.2-inch LCD screen allows clear data browsing

In contrast to most monochrome LCD screens on the market, the AUTOOL BT460 battery tester comes with a 3.2-inch LCD screen that is easy to read in direct sunlight and allows testing even in dark places.

Wide compatibility and application

It is able to test all cars (including 12V cars and 24V heavy trucks) starting lead-acid batteries, including ordinary lead-acid batteries, AGM flat batteries, AGM spiral batteries, gel batteries, etc. It can also be directly used to detect bad batteries, which is safe and efficient.

Battery test function for all-round analysis of battery condition

  • SOH (State of Health), SOC (State of Charge), voltage, current, ratings and readable analysis results can be tested and displayed. This battery tester can display a comprehensive range of test data, thus helping you to master the battery condition.
  • State of Health (SOH) is the quality factor of the condition of a battery (or cells or battery pack) compared to its ideal condition.
  • State of Charge (SOC) is the level of charge of a battery relative to its capacity and is usually used when discussing the current state of a battery in use.

Cranking test

The cranking test is mainly to test and analyze the starter motor. Cranking tests help you analyze the starter motor, including cranking voltage and cranking time, to check if the starter motor is working properly. The main reasons for the abnormality of the starter motor are as follows, that is, the increase of the starter load torque or the friction of the starter motor rotor causes the increase of the friction of the starter motor itself.

Charging test

It is possible to test different parts of the charging system, including generators, rectifiers, rectifier diodes, etc., to obtain reliable charging voltage values, so as to guarantee that the battery works at a safe voltage value. With this battery tester you can check if the generator can provide enough power to the vehicle's electrical system and if the battery can be kept charged.

Load Test: Simulate Voltage Loading

The load test is mainly aimed at the test of load voltage and no-load voltage. The load voltage refers to the voltage measured when all on-board electrical appliances (such as headlights) are turned on. No-load voltage is the voltage measured when all on-board electrical appliances (such as headlamps) are turned off.

Reverse polarity protection

It has a reverse polarity protection device. In case of carelessly reversing the battery tester power connector, there is no need to worry about damaging the tester or affecting the vehicle and battery. Thoughtful features are designed for better protection of the vehicle, battery and tester.
