This device is suitable for a broad array of vehicles such as cars, trucks, marine vessels, motorcycles, RVs, ATVs, SUVs, boats, yachts, mowers, and golf carts. It quickly and accurately identifies battery and charging problems, offering insights into voltage charge, internal resistance, and aging status.

The BT100 also conducts cranking system tests and alternator charging tests, making it an essential tool for DIY enthusiasts, auto repair shops, and battery manufacturers. Its user-friendly interface and smart LED indicators simplify the diagnostic process, allowing for quick assessment of battery condition.

2. Enfòmasyon sou Sekirite

It is important to always turn off your vehicle's ignition when testing your battery. Always read the safety features section in the manual carefully to ensure optimum safety. Batteries can be dangerous and require respect. Follow all safety rules and the correct order of installing and removing clamps nan tèminal batri yo.

Konekte Clamps: Connect the RED POSITIVE (+) lead FIRST. Then connect the BLACK NEGATIVE (-) lead SECOND.
Removing Clamps: Disconnect the BLACK NEGATIVE (-) lead FIRST. Then disconnect the RED POSITIVE (+) lead SECOND.
Always use eye protection and never place your face directly over the battery.
Ensure battery terminals are clean for accurate readings. Corroded terminals can lead to incorrect test results.

6. Operasyon Enstriksyon

Navigate through the menu using the 'ENTER', 'M' (Menu), 'EXIT', and arrow buttons.

6.1. Tès batri

From the Main Menu, select 'Battery Test'.
Select the appropriate battery type (e.g., Regular Flooded, AGM Flat Plate, GEL) from the list.
Input the Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) rating of your battery. This information is typically found on the battery label.
The tester will display the battery's health, charge, internal resistance, and voltage, along with a 'GOOD BATTERY', 'GOOD-RECHARGE', or 'REPLACE' status.
