Also called: 12V Battery Load Tester, 500A Tester, CCA Tester, Starter & Alternator Tester.
Overview
This carbon pile tester gives you a smooth, variable load up to 500A to simulate real engine cranking. It quickly exposes weak or failing batteries and is a trusted choice in Indian workshops and battery service centers.
How to Use (BCI Method)
- Charge battery fully: Ensure ≈12.6V at rest.
- Connect clamps: Clean terminals for accurate readings.
- Set load: Dial to ½ the rated CCA.
- Apply test: Hold load for ~15 seconds.
- Interpret readings: Minimal sag = healthy battery.
- Cooldown: Let tester cool after each heavy test.
Key Features
- Variable load control up to 500 Amps
- Dual analogue gauges (voltage + load)
- Diagnose starter draw & alternator output
- Vented cooling for long test cycles
- Heavy-duty 48” clamps with strong grip
