Description of Advanced Auto Meter BVA-230 Smart Handheld Electrical System Analyzer

Tests 6V and 12V flooded and AGM batteries rated between 100-1600 CCA. Tests starting/charging circuits, discharged batteries, and detects bad cells. Automatically stores results of last 150 completed tests for easy review. Wirelessly communicates to optional test results printer via infrared or outputs to PC via AC-12 cable. Unlike competitor models, Auto Meter testers only require a single technician to run a full electrical system test due to our on-board 120 amp True Load cell. This eliminates the need to apply inconsistent loads, such as headlights, fans, etc. which makes our products easier to use and more accurate. English and Spanish language menus and test results. Charging system test results measure alternator current output, voltage regulation, and diode ripple delivering a pass or fail result.

A Must-Have for Automotive Diagnostics

This diagnostic tool is a game-changer. After I put it to the test on my car, I was blown away by how easy it was to use. The readings are accurate and the interface is user-friendly. The ability to test various electrical systems in one device is a huge plus. The ability to export data is valuable for diagnosing difficult issues. The only downside is the price, but investing in a quality tool like this pays for itself over time. Overall, I highly recommend this tool for any auto technician.

Pros
  • Accurately tests and diagnoses electrical issues in vehicles.
Cons
  • Expensive compared to other basic battery testers on the market.

Solid tester. in Tools for Diagnosis, Testing and Measurement

This is a reliable portable tester, it offers fast and accurate stress tests, the diagnosis is definitely reliable and the backlit screen makes it easy to read the results. It is user-friendly and can be up and running in about a minute. It has a USB connection for easy spreadsheet format data transfer should you need it and can also be sent to your wireless printer. The current price ($800) seems fair - everyone said it was a good deal!

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly Package

There are options that will test the battery system, starter, alternator, and just about any system that includes a battery. There's a port for connecting a USB drive if you want to save the results for later review (and the device saves test data if you use it multiple times in a session). The basic functions are easy to understand. , and there are many features documented in the manual that I will test…
