Auto Battery Diagnostic Tool
May 25, 2005.
How often you start you car only to find the battery dead? It doesn't make much difference how often you refill the battery water - the life span of a car battery is limited.
This where the Digital Battery Analyzer from BatteryTechSolutions comes into play.
An easy device to use and even simpler to understand. the analyzer can tell what the problem is in just a few seconds.
Simply plug into your battery and available will be information about whether your battery is overcharged or undercharged, your alternators is working, the voltage of the battery cranking power and most importantly the remaining life span of the battery.
But what id you have a voltmeter? Well, a voltmeter can only check whether the alternator is working and wether the battery is short but which time it will be too late.
The battery analyzer is also suitable as a replacement for the old load testers used by mechanics. Load testers check whether a battery is working by placing a known restriction on it.
It checks the drop in voltage and tells how it works It is not a suitable for multiple tests because it gets hot and the battery, hotter. Load testers are known for reducing the life span of the battery.
The Digital Battery Analyzer from BatteryTechSolutions is microprocessor based and maintenance free. Best of all, its polarity protected (meaning if you plug it into the wrong place nothing will happen). It is a deal for people who aren't mechanically inclined. Priced at RM680 (US$215), think of it as a lifelong investment.
