Bosch has added a new battery tester to its line up of diagnostic tools. The BAT 110 is a rugged battery tester that uses state-of-the-art conductance technology to provide quick and accurate, load-free testing of most types of 12V batteries, (including AGM, standard, and maintenance-free batteries) and can test batteries as low as 5.5 volts, its maker said. In addition to conductance technology, the tester incorporates a temperature compensation feature to aid in battery tests results that are extremely accurate, Bosch added. Utilizing the test battery for power, the tester requires no internal batteries, and as a voltmeter, it has a test range of 5.5V to 19.99V. The battery cold cranking amp test range is from 200 – 850 CCA.
This tester is also capable of diagnosing 12V charging systems and starters. For easy reference, it features a high- and low-voltage storage function when checking charging systems and a low-voltage storage function when testing starters.
The four-button keypad makes the unit quick and simple to use, said the manufacturer, and the large, four-digit LED screen displays the voltage and CCA readouts quickly and clearly. Three “stop-light” illuminated LED indicators show battery condition in an easy-to-read way: green = good; yellow = marginal and red = replace.
