AUTOOL BT880 Battery Tester with Printer & Parasitic Drain

AUTOOL BT880 12V/24V Battery Tester with Printer

Battery, Cranking, Charging & Parasitic Drain Analyser

The AUTOOL BT880 is a workshop battery analyser for 12V and 24V vehicles. It tests battery health, cranking, charging and system voltage under load, and measures parasitic drain to help track down batteries that go flat overnight. The built-in printer gives you a report to hand to the customer.

The yellow leakage cable measures total key-off current from 15 mA to 5 A, and voltage and current waveforms are recorded for review on the 3.2-inch colour screen.

AUTOOL BT880 12V/24V battery tester with built-in printer

Main Features

Four tests plus drain: battery, cranking, charging, maximum load and parasitic drain.
Parasitic drain test: measures total key-off current from 15 mA to 5 A.
Built-in thermal printer: print test reports on the spot, with no ink.
30–2000 CCA: with CCA, BCI, CA, MCA, SAE, EN, IEC, DIN, JIS and GB standards.
Modern battery types: flooded, AGM flat plate, AGM spiral, Gel and EFB.
Waveforms and records: voltage and current waveforms with saved test data.
Ambient temperature display: built-in sensor shows the test temperature.
3.2-inch colour screen: with 18 languages.
Reverse polarity protection: protects the tester if the clamps are swapped.

Important Notes

Not suitable for lithium batteries. For lithium, see the AUTOOL BT960.
The drain test shows total current. Finding the circuit responsible still requires letting the vehicle sleep and isolating fuses.
The maximum load test checks system voltage with the vehicle's loads switched on. It is not a carbon pile load test.
Temperature is displayed for reference; results are not automatically compensated.
A tester only; it does not charge batteries.

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.
