ANCEL BA301 battery tester adopts the state-of-the-art conductance testing technology to measure the actual cold cranking amps capability of starting battery, battery health status, and common fault of starting system and charging system quickly and accurately. It works on all automotive 6V & 12V 100-2000 CCA lead-acid batteries of car, motorcycle, light truck, and more, including regular flooded, AGM flat plate, AGM spiral, GEL, and EFB batteries. And it features the "Waveform" menu and a hot-key on the device to monitors real-time voltage. This tool lets you know the battery status in advance and replace with a new battery in time, save a trip, and money to an auto repair shop.
- Good Battery: The battery is without any problem, please be relaxed to use.
- Good Recharge: Good battery but low current, recharge before using.
- Replace: The battery is near to or already reached the end of the using life, please replace the battery. Otherwise, bigger danger will be followed.
- Bad cell, Replace: Battery interior damaged, bad cell or short circuit, replace battery.
- Charge Retest: Unstable battery shall be recharged and retested to avoid error. If the same test result appears after recharge and retest, the battery is regarded as damaged, replace the battery.
The cranking test is used to test and analyze the actual required cranking current and cranking voltage to check the starting motor works properly or not. The test result displays cranking time, voltage, and status. If the stating malfunction may cause an increased starting loaded torque; or rotor friction of the starting motor generates increasing friction of the starting motor itself.
BA301 battery tester can monitors real-time voltage to check battery health status. There's a hot-key to directly one-click read the voltage change graph. The waveform displays current voltage, maximum, and minimum voltage during ignition, and it will stay static until there are voltage changes detected. By analyzing the voltage of discharge, starting, and charging to know if the battery needs to be replaced or not.
Two test models IN VEHICLE and OUT OF VEHICLE allow you to test the battery according to its location, provide you with more accurate test results quickly, thus replacing the bad cell in time. Designed with a large easy-to-read color LCD screen and user-friendly navigation menu, even a beginner can use it at ease.
Able to store, review, and transfer the test results and multiple voltage waveform graphs to a computer for printing and further analysis. Lifetime free update via software online available. Download the software on ANCEL official website, and it supports Windows XP/7/8/10 operating systems, not compatible with Mac OS and Linux.
