Review on ๐Ÿ”‹ BM510 Car Battery Tester: Analyzing CCA100-2000, Load Test, Charging, Cranking System for 6V 12V 24V Batteries by Chris Budenski

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Useful and complete information.

It has many functions. It supports a wide range of battery voltages from motorcycles to golf carts, old and new cars and trucks. When you test a battery, you enter battery type and configuration information, and the meter uses this information to provide you with battery summary information based on the battery information entry you choose. The number of options it offers for these standards is huge. The device is easy to use. I have used it for testing purposes on cars and batteries. If you are interested in dynamic testing, my husband says, it should be noted that this meter can do waveform testing. This will display the waveform. However, this is a useful feature because the graphical display has been corrected. It doesn't matter if you are testing a 6V or 24V battery. The scales are the same and therefore small changes are not so easy to show. The guide is surprisingly complete and informative. They allow the measurement of battery capacity, ohmic losses useful for assessing battery health. This draws power directly from the battery to power its electronics. So you don't have to charge it to use it if you want to. You can just go out and start using it. The display is large enough for outdoor use and my visually impaired husband can read it easily. The display is clear and easy to read. What my husband really likes is that it comes in a handy carrying case that has room for everything, including the instructions. a trolley battery that I wanted to test. I had to make some estimates of the battery capacity to put into the meter. For that reason, and the inability to zoom in on the chart, this is a four star product.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Frequency
