Handheld Automotive Battery Tester / Diagnostic Checker

Handheld Battery Tester

This handheld tester is essential for automotive battery load testing, charging voltage assessment, and starter motor evaluation. Ideal for both amateurs and professionals, it aids in vehicle fault diagnosis and service by providing crucial insights into battery and electrical system performance.

Features

• Battery Load Test: Evaluates the battery’s ability to crank an engine by drawing current while measuring the voltage. A good battery maintains a steady voltage under load, whereas a defective battery shows a rapid voltage drop.
• Cold Temp Effects: Compensates for battery performance at temperatures below 40°F (4.4°C).
• Charging Voltage Test: Measures the alternator/regulator output voltage to check for undercharging or overcharging, which can affect battery performance and lifespan.
• Starter Motor Test: Identifies excessive starter current draw that can make starting difficult and reduce battery life.

Specifications

• LED Indicator:
• Green Light: “GOOD” LED indicates that battery capacity is OK.
• Yellow Light: “WEAK” LED lights but voltage reading remains steady—battery capacity is not satisfactory.
• Red Light: “BAD” LED lights and voltage is falling—battery may be defective or very low.
• Buttons:
• LOAD: Activates the load test function.
