🔋 ANCEL BST500 12V/24V Automotive Battery Load Tester, Car Cranking and Charging System Analyzer Scan Tool with Printer for Heavy Duty Trucks, Cars, Motorcycles, and More (Black/Red) Review

I buy and work on a lot of auction cars. Cars stand still and are abused at auctions for so long that most batteries die. Just because they run out of battery doesn't mean they can't be charged, but in the past I've spent a lot of time charging and they start/run for a day and die again (because they have a bad one). cell) or simply charge in vain. This takes the guesswork out of letting me know if the battery just needs a standard charge or if I need to replace the battery. It is also good to…

Too often you walk into the dealership and they tell you you need a new battery and you just feel like they are trying to sell you a higher price. Every car dealership should have this, just hook it up, no magic, no confusion, quick test and done, diagnostic check printed and a happy customer. I don't understand why not everyone uses it! I tested it on an old battery that was only 7.3 volts and still worked. It gives you a percentage of battery life so you can plan for the next battery or…

Cables are about 60 cm long. This means that when your battery is not in the car, any tests that require the RPM to be held for a period of time cannot be performed on its own. There are $60 OBD readers that can do the same thing, and you can do it while in the car. But it won't print. But that's not entirely true either. The printer works the same as in the video. Be prepared to pull on the paper while printing. Accuracy. If the car was running just before the test, this can indicate a good…

I really liked this battery tester when it was new. It wasn't long before the printer started having problems, paper kept jamming and sometimes when it printed there was nothing there. Regarding battery testing, I've had two instances where a battery worked fine but was actually bad. Used to ride a Chevy Silverado with a hatchback. The customer used the tailgate twice when the truck was not running and the battery was dead. They were able to start it and brought it back to their garden. I got…

I don't write many reviews for Revain. But this little one deserves HUGE praise: the interface is very simple and easy to use. The backlit display is clear and sharp regardless of the lighting. I can take crisp photos of the results and send them to my clients. to alert them when their battery is low or needs to be replaced - The printer works great if you need a paper copy for a customer - The cost is incredible for how well it works - And a point nobody mentioned here: SPEED! See my notes…

As a service advisor, this is a great tool to have in your arsenal when you need to quickly test a battery and give a customer a hard copy. Of course, we have professional snap-on battery testers in store, but we will never find them when we need them in a hurry. So it definitely helps to have a personal item on hand. Overall it works great, just as accurate as our snap-on tester, but at a great affordable price. The reason it gets 4 stars instead of a full 5 star rating is that it can…

t I don't have a bigger battery tester so I decided to try this one from ANCEL. The first thing that struck me upon receipt is that it is easy to work with without having read the instructions. You just need to connect it to the battery and follow the on-screen instructions. (The backlit screen is easy to read.) Instead of describing these steps, I've provided some screenshots below showing the different screens you'll encounter when checking a battery. (see photo 1.4) * Battery type: 12V model
