AUTOOL BT960 · Automotive Battery Tester with Printer & Leakage Monitor

Monitor Battery Condition, Leakage and Results

Test supported lead-acid and listed lithium battery types, then check cranking, charging, loaded-system voltage, current, and leakage behavior on 12V/24V systems. BT960 records small-current waveforms for drain investigations and prints customizable reports with vehicle and test details for workshop documentation.

Key Features

Battery Checks, Leakage Monitoring and Printout

Battery & System Tests

Select the battery-test function, choose the status and mode as needed, and follow the on-screen prompts for battery, startup/cranking, charging, running system-voltage behavior with vehicle electrical loads switched on, voltage, current, leakage, and data-record checks on supported 12V and 24V battery systems. The listed current measurement range is 0–10A. The menu is not a traditional high-current resistive battery load test.

Lead-Acid Coverage + Voltage Range

Test supported Regular-Flooded, AGM Spiral, AGM Flat Plate, EFB, and GEL lead-acid battery categories. The 0–80V voltage measurement range is separate from battery health-test compatibility and does not by itself qualify a non-battery or high-voltage system for testing.

Lithium Battery Coverage

Test supported lithium iron phosphate, lithium polymer, ternary lithium, iron-lithium, polymer-lithium, and other listed lithium battery options. Match the battery to the supported test setting; the tester displays the current value after the test.

Battery Drain and Leakage-Current Monitoring

Monitor small changes in total current through the negative-side connection to investigate battery drain, abnormal standby current, and charging-related issues. Follow the vehicle sleep and power-retention procedure, then isolate circuits to identify the responsible branch or component.

Real-Time Temperature Monitoring

The built-in sensor tracks ambient temperature to provide context for battery testing. A battery working temperature of 20°C–25°C is generally recommended; follow the actual battery procedure and do not assume the display automatically compensates results.

Customizable Printed Reports

Use the built-in ink-free thermal printer to print battery-test reports on site, add license plate numbers, dates, and serial numbers, and attach the record to a work order or share it with the customer.

14 Languages

Supports English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian, Turkish, Thai, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and Polish.

Battery Rating Systems

Select the battery rating system that matches the battery label, including BCI, SAE, CCA, IEC, EN, CA, DIN, MCA, JIS, and GB.

3.2-Inch Color Display

Read test results, menus, and diagnostic prompts on the 3.2-inch color screen.

Waveform + Specification Reference

Review the voltage waveform and battery specifications table as references for more detailed checks.

Reverse Connection Protection

Reverse-polarity protection and insulated test clips help protect the battery and tester if positive and negative connections are reversed. Use the correct terminal connection and stop if the tester reports a polarity error.

Flexible Power Supply

Power the tester with four AAA batteries or a Type-C 5V / 1A supply.

Integrated Handheld Design

The 214 × 98 × 40mm body integrates the thermal print port, 3.2-inch color screen, return/power key, print key, OK key, direction keys, electric clamps, control buttons, and battery compartment.

3 Years Warranty Support

Main unit: 3-year warranty. Standard accessories: 1-year warranty. Warranty Policy.

Safe Use

Match Chemistry, Voltage and Test State

Battery Fit and Leakage Test State

Match the selected menu to the exact battery chemistry, nominal voltage, series arrangement, rating standard, and BMS-permitted test state. For leakage-current monitoring, use the documented negative-side connection and the vehicle’s sleep and power-retention procedure; finding the responsible circuit requires a separate isolation workflow. Treat CCA, SOC, health/life, and capacity-like values as algorithm outputs rather than measured amp-hours or exact remaining life.

Result Guide

Interpret Battery Results in Context

Measured Voltage

Assess battery health by combining voltage with state of charge, temperature, terminal contact, and the full test result.

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

Does BT960 Support Lithium Battery Testing?

Yes. BT960 supports iron lithium, polymer lithium, and ternary lithium battery test options. Select the menu that matches the battery chemistry, nominal voltage, series arrangement, and BMS-permitted test state before testing.

Can BT960 Monitor Battery Leakage Current?

Yes. BT960 monitors small changes in total current through its negative-side connection, helping technicians investigate battery drain, abnormal standby current, and charging-related issues. Follow the vehicle sleep and power-retention procedure; locating the responsible branch or component requires circuit isolation.

Does BT960 Have A Built-In Printer?

Yes. BT960 includes a built-in thermal printer. It can print test results with customizable license plate numbers, dates, and serial numbers, making it useful for work orders and customer reports.

What Voltage Range Can BT960 Measure?

BT960 supports a 0-80V voltage measurement range.

What Current Range Can BT960 Measure?
