For testing 12-volt automotive starting batteries
rated in CCA, SAE, DIN, IEC, and EN
!
PBT Testing Advantage:
The PBT-200 battery tester uses Midtronics patented conductance
technology to determine if the battery is good or bad, even when
discharged. This means you can safely, quickly, and accurately test a
battery anywhere.
Conductance Technology:
Conductance is a measurement of the plate surface available in the
battery, which determines how much power (or current) the battery
can supply. As a battery ages, the plate surface can sulfate or shed
active material which adversely affects its ability to perform. In
addition, conductance can be used to detect cell defects, shorts, and
open circuits, which will reduce the ability of the battery to deliver
current.
Using conductance, Midtronics testers are able to determine the
battery’s true state of health.
A conductance tester does not put a load
on the battery, which means no heat or sparks during testing. This
makes the PBT-200 safe to use anywhere, and it is sized to take
everywhere!

CAUTION
PRIOR TO TESTING THE BATTERY
Testing Out-of-Vehicle:
Clean the battery posts or side terminals with a wire brush.
For testing side-post batteries, install and tighten the lead
terminal stud adapters.
Failure to properly install the stud
adapters, or using stud adapters that are dirty or worn,
may result in false test results. Do not use steel bolts.
Testing In-Vehicle:
Turn off the vehicle and all accessory loads.
Testing with the
ignition switch on or vehicle loads on may cause
inaccurate readings.
If the vehicle was running prior to testing, turn on the headlights
for 30 seconds to remove the surface charge. Let the battery
rest for 1 minute to recover before testing.
