AUTOOL BT460 Automotive Battery Tester 12V/24V

AUTOOL BT460 12V/24V Automotive Battery & Charging System Tester

The AUTOOL BT460 Automotive Battery System Tester provides professional testing for 12V and 24V lead-acid batteries and vehicle electrical systems. It evaluates battery health, cranking performance, charging condition and voltage under electrical load, while displaying voltage, current, resistance, SOH, SOC and ripple data. With a 2.8-inch colour screen, 30–2000 CCA range, multiple battery standards and reverse polarity protection, it is ideal for workshops, technicians and automotive servicing.

The AUTOOL BT460 Automotive Battery System Tester provides professional testing for 12V and 24V lead-acid batteries and vehicle electrical systems.

Main Features

12V/24V Battery Testing – Tests supported 12V and 24V automotive lead-acid batteries across an 8–30V measurement range, providing essential battery condition data for workshop and vehicle servicing.
Battery Health Analysis – Evaluates battery voltage, internal resistance, cold cranking capability, state of health (SOH), state of charge (SOC) and ageing condition to support battery condition assessment.
Cranking System Test – Measures cranking voltage and current behaviour during engine starting to help technicians assess battery starting performance and identify potential cranking system issues.
Charging System Test – Checks charging voltage, generator output, rectifier and diode behaviour to assist with identifying charging system abnormalities, including potential overcharging or insufficient charging.
Maximum Load Test – Monitors battery voltage behaviour while vehicle electrical accessories are operating, helping assess system voltage under electrical load without functioning as a resistive high-current battery load tester.
Battery & System Data Analysis – Provides access to voltage, current, resistance, SOH, SOC, ripple, cranking, charging and load-related information for a more comprehensive assessment of battery and electrical system condition.
Broad Lead-Acid Battery Compatibility – Supports Regular Flooded, AGM Flat Plate, AGM Spiral, GEL and EFB batteries commonly used across passenger vehicles, motorcycles, vans, trucks and workshop applications.
Multiple Battery Test Standards – Supports commonly used battery measurement standards including CCA, IEC, EN, DIN, JIS and GB, allowing testing according to the applicable battery rating information.
30–2000 CCA Test Range – Provides a broad 30–2000 CCA testing range for supported automotive lead-acid batteries, covering a variety of battery capacities and vehicle applications.
2.8-Inch Colour Display – Features a clear 2.8-inch colour screen for viewing test menus, battery information and diagnostic results in workshop and automotive service environments.
14-Language Interface – Supports 14 selectable languages, including English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Turkish, Russian, Japanese, Korean and additional supported languages.
Reverse Polarity Protection – Helps protect the tester, battery and vehicle electrical system when the positive and negative battery clamps are accidentally connected incorrectly.
Data Review Function – Allows supported saved or recent test information to be reviewed directly through the tester, depending on the installed software version.
Type-C Software Upgrade – Connects to a compatible computer through the Type-C interface and USB data cable to support available software updates.

Maximum load test checks system voltage with the engine running and the vehicle's electrical loads switched on. It isn't a traditional heavy-load (carbon pile) battery test. Parasitic drain test measures the total key-off current; finding the circuit responsible still requires pulling fuses to isolate it.
