Autometer Handheld Electrical System Analyzer w/120 Amp Load for 6V/12V Applications

The AutoMeter BVA-260 uses patented Digital Pulse Load technology to apply a BCI-compliant true load, allowing for precise diagnosis of your vehicle's battery, starting, and charging system. This advanced handheld tester is designed to give you accurate results quickly, often in under 82 seconds, reducing the time spent on complex electrical diagnostics. It's built to handle both 6V and 12V systems, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of vehicles.

What sets this tester apart is its built-in 120-amp true load cell, which means a single technician can perform a full electrical system test without needing to rely on inconsistent loads like headlights. The integrated infrared battery temperature sensor further improves testing accuracy by accounting for ambient conditions. You can test discharged batteries, detect bad cells, and get a clear pass or fail result on the alternator's current output, voltage regulation, and diode ripple. The intuitive, menu-driven operation is displayed on a backlit LCD screen, and the tester supports both English and Spanish languages. For convenience, it stores the results of the last 150 tests and can wirelessly communicate with an optional printer or output data to a PC.

The BVA-260 comes equipped with 16-gauge, 20-inch leads featuring professional-grade Bite Rite clamps that are easy to connect to top post batteries and are field serviceable. It's also designed for future-proofing, with a smart USB port for software upgrades via AutoMeter's Amp Link Software. This tester is a solid option for anyone needing a reliable and advanced tool for comprehensive electrical system analysis.
