Immediately after receiving the goods in a few cars on the test, the results are very intuitive and accurate, especially for the old car, can help me quickly determine the status of the battery, really save a lot of heartache. The interface is simple and clear, you don’t need to read the manual to operate, it’s perfect for us!

This tool certainly is impressive as allows to perform specific diagnoses to measure and test the actual battery condition and its overall health. It can be use with the most common types of vehicle batteries available, as Regular flooded, AGM, GEL or EFB. I’m greatly surprised for the level of testing capabilities that is included with this tester. It accurately can measure the actual cold cranking current (CCC), battery voltage, state of charge (SOC), and state of health (SOH) as a percentage of battery life, providing insights and precise assessment of battery’s status and performance. It comes with several diagnostics programs to obtain a complete and in deep diagnostic of car’s battery. I really like its interface LCD color screen that shows precise trend graphics and can record values for each one of the routine diagnostics and tests performed, and also its added feature to get a printout register of the values obtained. Incredible tool that was usually available only for professional shops, but now it comes down to be somewhat affordable for DIYers, enthusiasts and beginners. I already used in my weekend car’s battery and wife car’s and it helped me to confirm that my car’s battery is reaching its end of life, and need to replace it soon. Wife’s car battery is still good to go. So far, the construction of this battery tester seems rugged and the clamps and cables do not feel flimsy. It has a reasonable size and it comes with a rechargeable battery and hard-case to keep everything neat and stored in one place. This device also does offer 24v testing capability and the built printer certainly adds a lot of versatility to the tool compared with other manufacturers. Overall, although not cheap, has a fair price compared with other similar testers. Certainly has now an affordable value for those ‘garage, week-end mechanics’, car enthusiasts or serious DIYers that like to do its own tests and diagnostics avoiding to pay for pro-shop visits. It is a -simple to use- and effective tool that although somewhat specialized, I think is valuable and a ‘nice to have’ in your tool box -well, if you can afford it-. I guess that at the current professional-shop rates, by using it just a couple of times, it can pay by itself. I like that. Recommended. (Reviewed by Handyman)

Great tool

I recently picked this battery tester because I didn’t want to return to topdon version. The topdon has issues with the paper jamming all the time. I seen reviews about this one and wanted to give it a try. The price was a little higher than I wanted but I needed one. I use it on every vehicle at my dealer ship and print it out and put it on paper work. Great tool. I think shops should supply this to techs because the business will be getting more surveys with customers having battery tested every service

Details

Test the Battery, Track Key-Off Drain and Print the Result

The AUTOOL BT880 checks 12 V and 24 V lead-acid batteries, cranking and charging, monitors total key-off current through a dedicated leakage clamp, and prints results for the work order. It does not test lithium batteries and does not charge.

  • 12 V / 24 V Lead-Acid
  • 15 mA–5 A Leakage Monitor
  • V/A Waveforms
  • Built-In Thermal Printer
  • 18 Languages

Key Features

  1. Battery Health Test

    Checks voltage, CCA, resistance, SOC, SOH and overall condition based on the selected battery type and rating standard.

  2. Cranking and Charging Tests

    Evaluate starting performance and charging status to help diagnose common vehicle electrical faults.

  3. Maximum Load Test

    Observes system voltage with the engine running and electrical loads switched on. It is not a traditional high-current resistive load test.

  4. Leakage Current Monitoring

    The negative-side leakage clamp observes total current and records its waveform, so you can decide when circuit isolation is needed.

  5. Voltage and Current Monitor

    The V/A monitor shows voltage and current waveforms to reveal fluctuation during inspection.

  6. Ambient Temperature Sensor

    Displays ambient temperature as context for hot or cold results; the tester does not automatically compensate the result.

  7. Data Review and Printing

    Stores previous test data and battery voltage values for comparison over time, and prints results on thermal paper with no ink required.

How to Use

  1. Select the test modeChoose battery, cranking, charging system, maximum load, V/A monitor, leakage, data review or printing.
  2. Connect the clampsAttach the red and black clamps by polarity; reverse-polarity protection does not replace a correct connection.
  3. Choose type and standardSelect the battery type and the rating standard and value printed on the battery label.
  4. Monitor leakage when neededDisconnect the negative terminal as instructed, fit the leakage clamp to the vehicle negative bus, let the vehicle reach its sleep state and watch the current waveform.
  5. Review or printCheck stored records or print the results for the work order or customer.

Good to Know

Caution
  • Lead-acid batteries only. Choose the BT960 if lithium battery testing is required.
  • The BT880 does not charge batteries; use separate charging equipment when charging is needed.
  • A leakage reading shows total current only. Finding the responsible circuit requires a separate sleep-state and fuse/circuit isolation procedure.
Care
  • Treat CCA, SOC and health values as algorithm-based indicators; repeat unexpected results after checking terminal contact and charge state.
  • Test individual 12 V batteries separately when the vehicle procedure requires it.
  • Replace the thermal paper roll when printing becomes unclear or the paper runs out.

I’ve been using this battery tester for a while and I feel it works exceptionally well. The operation is very simple, you can know the status in a few seconds after connecting the battery, and the accuracy is also very high. Usually check the battery power and health is particularly convenient, to avoid a lot of unexpected problems. Machine workmanship is solid, holding a weight, put the car can be used at any time. There is also a print function, the test is directly typed out to the customer to see, very professional. Overall, this tester allows me to work more efficiently, and I highly recommend it to my friends who do auto repair!

A good device but not excellent.

I own three devices of this type from various manufacturers that are used for testing car batteries. Compared to the others.. Bosch and Launch, at the end of the test, the workshop data and other additional or optional information cannot be printed.

Good product and superb help

After have more than six Autool products this one give a problem on CCA rating calibration. The after sale team help and resolve with firmware upgrade quickly. Great products and great team
