Hantek HT2018BX Automotive Battery Tester

Features

The Hantek HT2018BX is a compact battery tester with a built-in LCD and sturdy test leads, terminated with robust Aligator clips.

The case has been designed to withstand the knocks of the garage workshop and has an anti-slip finish which makes it easy to hold when being used.

The tester monitors the battery voltage and current under a range of conditions. The tester can also be used with the battery connected to the car, or stand-alone.

The Tester can function in four different test modes:

Battery Starting Mode

Before starting any tests, you need to tell the tester some information about the battery:

• Battery Voltage (6V, 12V or 24V)
• The maximum Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) of the battery

Charging System Test

Once the car has started, the tester will check that the battery is being charged, making it possible to determine if the car's charging system is functioning correctly. The battery voltage is displayed onscreen.

Normal Load Test

The tester will perform repeated load tests and monitor the battery voltage at each step to determine the ability of the battery to hold its charge.

Test Results

When the battery tests are complete, the State of Health (SOH) is displayed as a percentage. This figure gives a good indication of the condition of the battery. The internal resistance of the battery is also displayed. The estimated battery capacity is also displayed.

Protection Against Misuse

The HT2018BX has built-in protection against reverse polarity so there is no need to worry about the occasional mis-connection. Over-voltage protection is also built-in when connecting to batteries.
