When it comes to vehicle maintenance, the battery is often overlooked until the moment it fails. Yet your 12V battery powers critical systems like starting, lighting, and electronic controls. That’s why a reliable battery tester is essential—and the VDIAGTOOL BT500 is a trusted tool designed to help drivers, mechanics, and fleet managers stay ahead of battery problems before they escalate into costly breakdowns.

Precision Battery Diagnostics You Can Trust

The BT500 delivers accurate and comprehensive diagnostics for all standard 12V lead-acid batteries, including:

● Regular flooded batteries

● AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) flat plate and spiral

● Gel cell batteries

It evaluates your battery’s State of Health (SOH) and State of Charge (SOC), providing a clear snapshot of overall performance. The device also measures cranking voltage, internal resistance, and charging system behavior, helping you identify issues related not just to the battery, but to the alternator and starter as well.

This makes it especially useful in determining whether a weak battery needs replacing—or if the problem lies elsewhere in the system.

Supports a Wide Range of Vehicles and Battery Ratings

With support for batteries rated from 100 to 2000 CCA, the BT500 covers most passenger vehicles, motorcycles, SUVs, light-duty trucks, and marine batteries. Whether you're servicing a family sedan or inspecting a used vehicle for purchase, this tester adapts to various diagnostic needs with precision and ease.

Easy Operation with Clear, Color Display

Unlike traditional analog testers or tools that display only numeric codes, the BT500 offers a bright 2.4-inch color screen with full-text feedback. Results are displayed clearly, with no need to interpret complex abbreviations or blinking LEDs.

Its straightforward menu system is beginner-friendly—just connect the clamps to the battery terminals, navigate the intuitive interface, and start your test with a few simple button presses. There's no internal battery required; the device powers up instantly from the car battery itself, making it ready to use anytime, anywhere.

Additional Features for Better Control and Reporting

Beyond basic testing, the BT500 also includes practical features that make it ideal for ongoing vehicle maintenance:

● Battery voltage monitoring – Check for unexpected voltage drops or overcharging.

● Data playback and review – Revisit results for comparison or long-term tracking.

● Data printing via USB – Create hard-copy reports using a Windows PC, perfect for technicians or resale documentation.

● Built-in DTC lookup – While not a code reader, the BT500 references key terms for better understanding during diagnostic workflows.

All of these functions are packed into a compact, durable unit designed to handle garage environments and outdoor testing with confidence.
