1 Product Summary

 

1.1 Product Profile

 

BA101 Battery Tester adopts currently the world's most advanced conductance testing technology to easily, quickly and accurately measure 

the actual cold cranking amps capability of the vehicle starting battery, healthy state of the battery itself, and common fault of the vehicle 

starting  system  and  charging  system,  which  can  help  maintenance  personnel  to  find  the  problem  quickly  and  accurately, thus  to  achieve 

quick vehicle repair. 

1.

Test all automotive cranking lead acid battery, including ordinary lead acid battery, AGM flat plate battery, AGM spiral battery, and Gel

battery, EFB battery, etc.

2.

Directly detect bad cell battery.

3.

Polarity reverse connection protection, reverse connection will not damage the tester or affect the vehicle and battery.

4.

Directly test the battery with loss of electricity, no need to full charge before testing.

5.

Testing standards include currently the world's majority of battery standards, CCA, BCI, CA, MCA, JIS, DIN, IEC, EN, SAE, GB.

6.

Support multi-languages, customer can select different language package, which includes: English,French,Spanish,German,Italian,Polish,

etc. Other languages can also be customized according to user's need.

1.2 Product Function

 

Main functions of BA101 battery tester include: battery test, cranking test, charging test and other additional functions. 

Battery  test 

is mainly targeted to analyze the battery healthy status to calculate the actual cold cranking capability of the battery and the 

aging extent, which provide reliable analysis evidence for the test and maintenance of the battery. It notifies the user to replace battery in 

advance when the battery getting aged. 

Cranking test 

is mainly to test and analyze the starting motor. Through testing the actual required cranking current and cranking voltage  of 

the  starting  motor,  it  can  find  out  whether  the  starting  motor  works  fine.  There  are  several  reasons  why  the  starting  motor  is  abnormal: 

lubricating system fault causing the starting loaded torque increasing or rotor friction of the starting motor causing the increasing friction  of 

the starting motor itself. 

Charging  test 

is to check and analyze the charging system, including generator, rectifier, rectifier diode, etc., thus to find out whether the 

output  voltage  of  the  generator  is  normal,  the  rectifier  diode  works  fine  and  the  charging  current  is  normal.  Suppose  one  of  the  above 

mentioned  parts  is  not  in  normal  situation,  it  will  lead  to  over  charge  or  incomplete  charge  of  the  battery,  thus  the  battery  will  be  quickly 

damaged and also greatly shorten the using life of other loaded electrical appliance.
