What to Expect from the BCT-200J:  

Immediately recognize a bad battery. Also perform a complete voltage drop 

test analysis on 12 and 24 Volt systems.

  Load test 12 Volt batteries, load a 12 

Volt alternator and do a check on a 24 Volt alternator. The BCT-200J is a portable 

full-featured menu-driven battery tester and voltage drop tester that provides 

quick, professional load results using Auto Meter's advanced algorithmic load. 

The BCT-200J has the option of using a J1708 cable. It is professionally accurate 

and detailed test results are LCD displayed after each test and can be reviewed 

and printed from memory.  

CAUTION: The BCT-200J grill may get hot after repeated use.  Be sure to 

hold the unit from the side grips only.  Keep hands away from the grill.
