Heavy-duty battery tester

OE battery manufacturer Banner introduces its latest accessory, the BBT HD1+ heavy-duty tester, to check the charging/starting system of car, truck and motorcycle batteries

The BBT HD1+ tests the voltage (including internal resistance in mΩ) and charging-starting status of 6V and 12V batteries, including temperature compensation, without overburdening the battery.

Both new and used standard, AGM or GEL batteries can be tested, with full report information being displayed on its internal, large illuminated display. All of the test information, such as the battery’s state of health and state of charge, can also be printed out using the HD1+’s integrated graphics printer.

It incorporates a robust and heavy-duty clamp set, together with an over-extended cable – a feature that makes the BBT HD1+ particularly useful when batteries are in inaccessible locations. Software is also included for the logging of the measurement results on PCs.

“The BBT HD1+ is a very versatile, easy to operate and extremely lightweight tester that can be used when testing all types of batteries – SAE, EN, IEC, DIN and JIS,” explains Banner’s Lee Quinney.
