Chapter 1 Product Summary

1.1 Product Profile

BST-560 Battery Tester adopts currently the world's most advanced conductance testing

technology to easily, quickly and accurately measure the actual cold cranking amps

capability of the vehicle starting battery, healthy state of the battery itself, and common

fault of the vehicle starting system and charging system, which can help maintenance

personnel to find the problem quickly and accurately, thus to achieve quick vehicle repair.

1. Test all automotive cranking lead acid battery, including ordinary lead acid battery,

AGM flat plate battery, AGM spiral battery, and Gel battery, etc.

2. Directly detect bad cell battery.

3. Polarity reverse connection protection, reverse connection will not damage the tester

or affect the vehicle and battery.

4. Directly test the battery with loss of electricity, no need to full charge before testing.

5. Testing standards include currently the world's majority of battery standards, CCA,

BCI, CA, MCA, JIS, DIN, IEC, EN, SAE, GB.

6. Support multi-languages, customer can select different language package, which

includes:

European version A: English, Russian, French, Italian, German,Polish

European Version B: Dutch, Sweden, Finnish, Turkish, Danish,Norwegian

American version :English, Spanish, Portuguese, French

Asian versionA: English, Chinese Simple, Chinese Traditional

Asian version B: English, Japanese, Korean

1.2 Product Function

Main functions of BST-560 battery tester include: battery test, cranking test, charging test

and other additional functions.

Battery test is mainly targeted to analyze the battery healthy status to calculate the

actual cold cranking capability of the battery and the aging extent, which provide reliable

LAUNCH BST-560 User Manual for Battery Tester

analysis evidence for the test and maintenance of the battery. It notifies the user to

replace battery in advance when the battery getting aged.

Cranking test is mainly to test and analyze the starting motor. Through testing the

actual required cranking current and cranking voltage of the starting motor, it can find out

whether the starting motor works fine.There are several reasons why the starting motor is

abnormal: lubricating system fault causing the starting loaded torque increasing or rotor

friction of the starting motor causing the increasing friction of the starting motor itself.

Charging test is to check and analyze the charging system, including generator,

rectifier, rectifier diode, etc., thus to find out whether the output voltage of the generator is

normal, the rectifier diode works fine and the charging current is normal. Suppose one of

the above mentioned parts is not in normal situation, it will lead to over charge or

incomplete charge of the battery, thus the battery will be quickly damaged and also greatly

shorten the using life of other loaded electrical appliance.

Additional functions include:Set language, print test result

3.3 Battery Test

After entering battery test program, tester displays the tester model and version

approx. 2 seconds, Interface with tester model and version

Tester will display the following contents in a sequence, select accordingly.

Select the battery test and press OK key to continue:

Input testing standard: the standard which you can see the front of the

battery ,such as CCA、BCI 、DIN. If you can’t find any info about the standard,

you can choose GB standard. Choose GB standards would lead little tolerance.

Input rated capacity: you can see the starting current standards in front of the

battery .Such as BCI/300A.

Then press OK key to start testing.

NOTE：

For power loss battery (such as a vehicle for a long time on hold, the battery is

not charged in time; forget to close the lights, the doors resulting in serious loss

of battery electric vehicle and can not be started, etc.), in the actual testing

process may also be prompted to "Please replace the battery," for such batteries,

please consult the battery manufacturers, and then tested.

3.3.1 Select Battery Type

After the battery test selected, tester will prompt to select battery type, i.e.

Regular Flooded, AGM Flat Plate or AGM Spiral, and Gel battery. Press

UP/DOWN key to select battery type, and press OK key to confirm.

3.3.2 Battery System Standard and Rating

BST-560 battery tester will test each battery according to the selected system

and rating.

Use UP/DOWN key to select according to the actual system standard and

rating marked on the battery. Use UP/DOWN key to select according to the

actual system standard and rating marked on the battery. See in the below

picture, the arrow indicated location.

CCA: Cold Cranking Amps, specified by SAE&BCI, most frequently used value

for starting battery at 0°F (-18°C).
