ANCEL BA301 6V 12V Car Battery Tester, 100-2000 CCA Automotive Load Tester Alternator Tester Auto Digital Battery Analyzer Cranking and Charging System Test Tool for Motorcycle Car Boat Truck SUV ATV

This is so easy to use and it works great on all the batteries I have tested. I even took a battery to a local battery store to see if they got the same results and they matched.

I was originally going to purchase another more expensive name brand battery tester. I checked out the reviews on Youtube for that particular name brand and saw that it was being compared to the Ancel BA301 tester. After checking out the review I was impressed with the Ancel. I liked the screen shot which was in color and had a more pleasing and easy to read screen. It wasn't complicated to understand as there wasn't a whole bunch of buttons to figure out. Although being made of light weight plastic made it feel cheap, it was well made with cables and strong clamps that felt above average. Being half the price of the other name brand was also a nice touch.

the pouch is to small, otherwise a good tester

I didn't want to review till I had a chance to use it. Today was the day. I was concerned that it needed the USB c port to operate, but it doesn't. I was further concerned about searching for the battery I was testing from the menu. Forget that, it did it for me!! It gave me everything I needed to know about the test battery in seconds. I have two of the old fashioned carbon Pyle (toaster) testers and they're ok. They are not battery "analysisers." This is!!! You'll love it and probably sleep with it under your pillow for the first week or so. Needless to say, I'm extremely pleased.

Just take it out of the box, clip it to the battery terminals and follow the instructions of the screen. If you do an 'in car' test it would help to have someone in the car to start it or to rev it up when asked. The leads are only about 2' long. Did everything I needed and was on sale when I bought it.

I did not like getting an email from the company telling me if I experienced product failure to upload a software upgrade before I even got the unit in the mail. Such an action would make me distrust the unit. However I have to stress the email said...if the unit failure occurs to install update...not to install it right now before use. So... I have not installed the software update because my unit so far has not failed. As with anything else if I do not attach the clamps of the unit to a battery secure and properly it will not read properly. Tested the unit on known bad battery and got accurate reading of a bad battery. Same results with good batteries...it was accurate. Using a volt meter on bad batteries validated this unit was accurate...so..I will tell you this unit works great for me. Time will tell the whole story but for now...this unit is fine...buy it to test your battery status. You can trust it.

I wish the screen was bigger and there is bunch of battery designations I don't understand and the instruction booklet doesn't explain. I'll have to call the manufacturer to explain. I hope they can help me when I call!

Easy to use automotive battery tester. Good value for this useful tool.

I still wonder how i could be a motorist/mechanic for so many years without the ability of testing my own cars battery’s and smaller generators battery’s. This tool is very simple to use. You simply plug each wire leads on the corresponding battery terminals. The unit powers itself and then ask you what you want to perform; battery on the car or outside the car testing. It gives you the chance to dial-in the CCA of the battery to be tested. The results only takes seconds every time and are accurate.For smaller 12v battery like in a power generator, its the same process. I was able to eliminate any kind of guessing when boosting a car’s dead battery also. Is it still good or it needs to be replaced? This tester takes out the guessing out of the equation. Also, after each battery’s replacement, i always test the charging system. A good car alternator will usually give between 13.8v - 14.4v. So far this unit paid for itself many times. It allowed me to get 2 replacement batteries on warranty easily. Another benefit!Would i buy it again? YES*Update: as of July 2024, the unit still works flawlessly. I tested today 2 batteries and also performed on a older 2005 Honda CRV an alternator testing. The 2 batteries were good but the alternator was dead. It gives a really quick reliable diagnosis.*

Easy to use and appears to be accurate as I've compared it to a pro unit costing 10X the amount

Si tratta di un praticissimo e semplicissimo tester per batterie, che vi consentirà di capire bene ed univocamente la "bontà" della batteria che state testando.Funziona sia con la batteria scollegata sia con la batteria installata nell'automobile/moto. Come da foto allegate è munito di pinza a coccodrillo, istruzioni (in inglese), un pratico cavetto USB ed un sacchetto custodia.Ottima qualità ed accuratezza, lo uso da più di un anno e si è sempre rivelato infallibile. Una volta addirittura ho portato la batteria dall'elettrauto (dopo che questo tester me la dava come esaurita al 25%) e l'elettrauto sosteneva che fosse ancora buona. Peccato che dopo aver provato a ricaricarla per una notte intera si è convinto anche lui che la batteria era ormai alla frutta...Con questo tester non rimarrete più a piedi, infatti sarete in grado in qualunque momento di sapere se la batteria è carica, ma soprattutto se è ancora "buona".Tutte le batterie infatti, dopo un certo lasso di tempo (un paio di anni) e dopo svariati cicli di carica/scarica, iniziano a deteriorarsi ed a perdere prestazioni fino al punto di non avere più la capacità sufficiente a farvi partire il motore dell'autovettura, causa elementi interni rovinati e non più idonei a mantenere la carica elettrica.Al fine di evitare spiacevoli inconvenienti, come quello di rimaner a piedi, questo tester vi darà la possibilità di verificare lo stato della vostra batteria ed eventualmente di sostituirla prima che sia troppo tardi...Il tester è molto facile da utilizzare, basta seguire le indicazioni (queste in italiano) sul display ed il gioco è fatto.Piccola pecca, se così si può definire, mancano le istruzioni in italiano. C'è però da dire che essendo il funzionamento molto facile ed intuitivo ed essendo l'inglese lingua ormai molto diffusa, la mancanza della traduzione delle istruzioni è praticamente trascurabile.Se questa recensione vi è servita allora ditemelo cliccando sull'apposito tasto "UTILE" qui sotto, grazie.

Si bien el producto está bastante bien promocionado y explicado en la web, es sinceramente un comprobador de baterias bastante fiable, aparentemente construido con buen material y muy fácil de usar. Tienes muchos idiomas para elegir, incluido el español claro está. Es muy intuitivo y además existen varios vídeos en Youtube donde se puede ver el funcionamiento. Funciona con la energía de la batería a comprobar, por lo que no lleva pila. Además se puede actualizar gratis en la web oficial y según ellos de por vida del aparato. Vale la pena por el precio que cuesta y por el uso que puedes hacer de él.
