Key Features
Guided Lead-Acid System Checks
Battery Health & Conductance
Check voltage, capacity status, CCA, internal resistance, and remaining-life information. BT360 measures electrical conductance as an indicator of battery-plate reaction ability, compares it with reference values for a battery in good condition, and uses the result to estimate health, capacity change, and cold-cranking capability. Treat the on-screen suggestion as a next-step guide for further inspection or replacement, not as a complete diagnosis.
Cranking Ability Test
After selecting Cranking Test, follow the prompt to start the engine. BT360 helps evaluate the vehicle battery’s cranking voltage capability.
Charging System Test
After entering Charging Test, follow the prompt to increase speed to about 2500 RPM for 5 seconds, then press OK to complete the test.
Lead-Acid Battery Coverage
Use BT360 with supported 12V/24V lead-acid starting-battery systems, selecting the correct flooded, AGM, GEL, or EFB battery type before testing.
Data Records And Waveform
Review saved battery-test information and voltage waveforms after testing.
14 Language Options
Supports English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian, Turkish, Thai, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and Polish.
USB Software Updates
Connect the BT360 to a computer with a USB data cable for applicable software updates.
2.4-Inch Color Screen
Read battery-test menus, prompts, and results on the 2.4-inch color display.
Reverse-Polarity Protection
Built-in reverse-polarity protection helps protect the tester if the battery clamps are connected incorrectly.
Selectable Battery Standards
Choose the battery rating standard, including CCA, DIN, or EN, to match the battery label; BT360 supports common global battery test standards.
Handheld Test Design
A compact body, dedicated buttons, insulated clamps, and quick on-screen results support convenient battery-test setup for technicians and DIY users.
3 Years Warranty Support
Main unit: 3-year warranty. Standard accessories: 1-year warranty. Warranty Policy.
Safe Use
Test Within the Battery and Voltage Limits
Tester, Not Charger
BT360 can run a charging system test, but it does not charge batteries. It is not a battery charger or battery maintainer.
Lithium Batteries Not Supported
BT360 is intended for supported lead-acid starting batteries. Choose BT960 if lithium battery support is required.
No Maximum Load Test
BT360 supports Battery Test, Cranking Test, and Charging System Test. It does not support Maximum Load Test.
Correct Clamp Connection
Connect the red clip to the positive terminal and the black clip to the negative terminal. Reverse polarity protection helps protect the tester, vehicle, and battery, but correct connection is still recommended.
Battery Test With Vehicle Off
When performing a battery test, make sure the vehicle is off first. Follow the device prompts for cranking and charging tests.
New And Old Versions Ship Randomly
BT360 new and old versions may be shipped randomly. The functions are the same; only the color screen and LED screen appearance are different.
Use the Battery Test Results
Use CCA, SOC and health indicators with the battery rating, charge state and vehicle test results to choose the next service step. These algorithm-based indicators are not controlled amp-hour measurements.
Inspect the Cables Before Use
Do not use the tester if the power cable or connection cable is damaged.
Result Guide
Read the Result Before Deciding the Next Step
Measured Voltage
Review displayed voltage with battery charge state, temperature and terminal condition.
CCA or Conductance Output
Compare the tester’s algorithm output with the rating standard and value entered from the battery label. Repeat unexpected results after checking terminal contact and charge state.
SOC and Health/Life
Treat SOC and health, life or capacity-like percentages as model-generated indicators rather than measured remaining amp-hours or an exact service-life forecast.
Cranking and Charging
Keep cranking voltage, running-system voltage and loaded-system observations separate. Use the vehicle procedure and operating state to decide the next check.

Buyer Questions
Battery Test, Fit and Result Questions
What Can AUTOOL BT360 Test?
BT360 supports Battery Test, Cranking Test, and Charging System Test. It helps evaluate battery health, cranking voltage capability, and whether the vehicle charging voltage is normal.
Is BT360 A Battery Charger?
No. BT360 is a battery system tester. It can run a charging system test, but it does not charge the battery and should not be used as a battery charger or maintainer.
Does BT360 Support Lithium Batteries?
No. BT360 does not support lithium batteries. Choose BT960 if lithium battery support is required.
Why May The Screen Or Appearance Look Different?
BT360 new and old versions may be shipped randomly. The functions are the same; only the color screen and LED screen appearance are different. Please refer to the actual unit received.
What Battery Types Can BT360 Test?
BT360 supports regular flooded lead-acid, AGM flat plate, AGM spiral, GEL, and EFB batteries when the battery voltage and test range are compatible. It is not for lithium batteries.
Does BT360 Support 24V Batteries?
Check the supplied manual and product label for the rated battery-system voltage and input range before testing. Do not assume 24 V battery support.
Does BT360 Support Maximum Load Test?
No. BT360 does not support Maximum Load Test. Compare BT460, BT760, BT880, or BT960 if this function is needed.
Which Test Standards Are Supported?
