Autel MaxiBAS BT506 Battery & Electrical System Tester

Stock located in Dublin. Fast and free delivery across Ireland.

The Autel MaxiBAS BT506 is a professional battery and electrical system analysis tool designed to quickly assess the condition of vehicle batteries, starting systems and charging systems.

Using Autel’s Adaptive Conductance technology, the BT506 provides a detailed assessment of battery condition and cranking capability rather than relying on a simple voltage reading. It is suitable for professional workshops, mechanics, automotive technicians and advanced DIY users.

The compact BT506 connects wirelessly to a compatible Android or iOS smartphone/tablet using the Autel Battery Test app. It can also be used with compatible Autel diagnostic tablets, giving technicians clear test results and guided testing procedures.

Comprehensive Battery Testing

The BT506 provides more information than a conventional battery voltage tester. During a battery test, it can report important information such as:

• State of Health (SOH)
• State of Charge (SOC)
• Battery voltage
• Measured cranking capacity
• Rated battery capacity
• Battery temperature
• Test result and maintenance recommendations

This makes it easier to identify a weak or deteriorating battery before it causes starting problems.

Starter & Cranking System Test

When testing the vehicle’s starting system, the BT506 can analyse the cranking event and provide information including starting voltage, starting current and starting time.

This can help technicians investigate starting problems and distinguish between potential battery and starting-system issues.

Charging System & Alternator Test

The BT506 can also test the vehicle’s charging system while the engine is running.

The generator/alternator test can provide information about:

• Charging voltage
• Charging output
• No-load and load conditions
• Electrical ripple

The ripple measurement can help identify potential charging-system problems, including issues associated with the alternator’s rectifier/diodes.

In-Vehicle & Out-of-Vehicle Testing

The BT506 supports both:

In-Vehicle Testing
Test the battery, starter/cranking system and charging system while the battery is installed in the vehicle.

Out-of-Vehicle Testing
Test a disconnected battery to assess its condition and overall battery health.

Compatible Battery Types

The BT506 supports a wide range of common automotive battery technologies:

• Flooded / conventional lead-acid
• AGM
• AGM Spiral
• EFB
• GEL

It supports multiple battery rating standards, making it suitable for a wide variety of European, Asian and other vehicles.

Wireless Smartphone & Tablet Operation

The BT506 is designed to work with the Autel Battery Test app, available for compatible Android and iOS devices.

The app provides guided testing and displays the results clearly on your smartphone or tablet. The BT506 can also be used with compatible Autel diagnostic tablets.

This means the tester itself can remain compact and easy to handle while the test results are displayed on the connected device.

Why Choose the Autel BT506?

The BT506 combines battery testing, starter-system testing and charging-system analysis in one compact wireless device. Instead of checking battery voltage alone, technicians can obtain a much more detailed picture of battery condition and vehicle electrical-system performance.

It is particularly useful when diagnosing hard starting, weak batteries, charging problems and suspected alternator issues.
