The BT 100 Load Tester applies a 100 Amp load to the battery, similar to a 3-6 cyl starter current draw, usually more, but 100 Amp is enough to sort out a weak or defective battery.
I tried to use it this weekend but the meter wouldn't give me a response and the tester wouldn't work, so I didn't know what caused it to stop functioning.
After having my battery tested at OReillys, I had to replace the battery cables because they were the same issue.
I took the guess work out and found out that my batteries weren't going to need to be replaced.
I used it as a battery load tester and it works well.
Question & Answers
Does this test the alternator?
It does test the alternator, but not a totally foolproof system to find out, you need to know what to do in a case of finding out if it is your battery or not, what I learned from my dad is this.
I saw a similar unit at HF, but it had aluminum wires instead of copper. What is the unit's make?
I looked at the unit and saw wires that were not 100% copper but were mostly aluminum wire with thin copper on the outside of the wire.
Will this work on deep cycle batteries used for solar applications?
It applies a load across the battery being tested and measures voltage so it can be used as a comparative or trend analysis tool on any 6 or 12volt lead acid battery.
Is it good for testing lead acid batteries?
If there is a positive and a negative contact point, you can use the equipment.
Would it work for a srt8 challenger battery?
The srt8 Challenger has a rare battery that can only be loaded by highly trained technicians.
