Description
Overview:
The Vehicle Battery Tester 12V is a compact electronic tester designed to assess the state of health and performance of 12-volt vehicle batteries. Built around a tough ABS body with a protective rubber boot, it withstands everyday workshop use. Insulated clips and flexible leads make connection quick and secure, while the backlit LCD display presents results clearly in low light. Suitable for lead acid, sealed maintenance-free (SMF), EFB and AGM batteries, it supports common CCA standards used across the UK and Europe. The tester measures battery voltage and checks charging voltage during engine start, helping diagnose weak batteries and charging issues. CE and UKCA compliance make it appropriate for trade and DIY use on cars, vans, motorcycles, ride-on mowers and small plant with 12V electrical systems.
Key Features:
- For 12V systems (operating range 9V-15V) across lead acid, SMF, EFB and AGM batteries
- Backlit LCD for clear readings in workshops, garages and outdoor conditions
- Accuracy of ±0.05V for dependable voltage assessment and repeatable results
- Checks battery voltage and charging voltage during engine start to highlight cranking or alternator issues
- Supports CCA standards: SAE, DIN, EN, IEC, CA for wide compatibility with manufacturer specifications
- Reverse polarity protection up to 20V DC helps prevent damage if clamps are connected the wrong way round
- Robust ABS construction with a protective rubber boot for shock and scuff resistance
- Simple two-lead connection with insulated clamps for fast, safe setup
- CE & UKCA compliant for use in UK workshops and mobile service environments
- Compact, lightweight form factor for tool bags, gloveboxes and onsite callouts
Typical Applications:
Routine battery checks, pre-MOT inspections, diagnosing hard starting, verifying charging performance after alternator work, and confirming battery condition before seasonal storage. Useful for cars, vans, 4x4s, motorcycles, ATVs, ride-on mowers, compact tractors and small construction or garden machinery that use 12V starting systems.
Also known as:
Automotive battery tester, 12-volt battery analyser, car battery checker, cranking and charging system tester, battery diagnostic tester, vehicle electrical system tester.
