What types of batteries can the AutoMeter BVA-200S test?

This analyzer is designed to test both 6V and 12V flooded and AGM batteries. It covers a wide range of capacities, from 100-1600 CCA or 10-265 AH.

How does the 'True-Load' technology work?

The 'True-Load' technology applies a known, significant electrical load directly through the tester's connections. This bypasses the need to use vehicle accessories like headlights, providing a more accurate and consistent test of the battery, starter, and charging system.

Can this tester communicate test results?

Yes, the BVA-200S automatically stores the results of the last 150 tests. It can also wirelessly communicate these results to an optional test results printer via infrared or output them to a PC using an AC-12 cable.

Product Details

The AutoMeter BVA-200S starts with a robust 120-amp load capacity, built right into its housing, making it a workhorse for professional shops. This isn't just a battery tester; it's a complete electrical system diagnostic tool designed to get you accurate results quickly. It tests 6V and 12V flooded and AGM batteries, handling everything from 100 to 1600 CCA or 10 to 265 AH, and can even check discharged batteries and detect bad cells.

What sets this analyzer apart is its patented test process. It applies a significant, known load directly through the tester connections, eliminating the guesswork and inconsistency of using vehicle accessories like headlights. This 'True-Load' technology, combined with AutoMeter's Advanced Digital Pulse Load (DPL) technology, means you get a rapid and accurate assessment of your battery, starter, and charging system in about 82 seconds. This reduces operator error and speeds up the diagnostic workflow significantly, allowing a single technician to perform a full electrical system test efficiently.

You'll appreciate the durable, anodized aluminum housing with a rubber grip for comfortable handling, and the 16-gauge, 20-inch leads with professional-grade, field-serviceable clamps. The backlit LCD screen makes operation easy, with intuitive menu-driven prompts available in both English and Spanish. Plus, it automatically stores the results of your last 150 tests for easy review, and can wirelessly communicate to an optional printer or output to a PC. The charging system test specifically measures alternator output, voltage regulation, and diode ripple, giving you a clear pass or fail result.
