SECTION 3 GETTING STARTED
Where is the battery of a car located?
Let's take the following picture as a reference:
Figure 3.1.1
1) Most models hold the battery in the engine bay, under the
hood, in one of the front corners. See battery location
①
and
②
in Figure 3.1.1.
2) To balance uneven weight distribution, some manufacturers
hold the engine in the trunk. See battery location
⑤
,
⑥
, and
⑦
in Figure 3.1.1. In this case, the battery may have a plastic
cover that should be removed prior to any testing.
3) For some models, the battery might be stored underneath the
rear seat. See battery location
④
in Figure 3.1.1.
4) For other vehicles, the battery can be located underneath the
front passenger seat. See battery location
③
in Figure 3.1.1.
Note:
Make sure the device is adequately charged before use. It
is recommended to charge via the USB-C port using the
supplied adapter.

WARNING:
DO NOT TEST THROUGH THE JUMPSTART POSTS. For
models that hold the battery under the seat or in the trunk,
the manufacturer usually includes jumpstart connector
conductor posts under the hood (see Figure 3.1.2) to make
jumpstarting easier. However, to ensure data accuracy
and operation safety, DO NOT CONNECT THE BATTERY
ANALYZER TO THE JUMPSTART POSTS.

1) Battery Capacity: 80Ah
Battery Capacity is dened as the total amount of electricity
generated in the battery in a certain time, and is measured in
ampere hours (Ah).
2) Battery Type: AGM

(AGM):
Name
This is the oldest/most common car battery type,
also known as "SLI battery." The Flooded Battery
is usually made of 6 cells with a liquid electrolyte
solution of sulfuric acid and water that needs to
be topped off periodically. This battery typically
supplies a voltage of 12.6V at full charge.
This battery type also uses a liquid electrolyte
solution. However, but unlike the Wet Flooded
Lead Acid battery, it is sealed and maintenance-
free. The Enhanced Flooded, usually seen in cars
with simple start-stop technology, can provide
up to 85,000 engine cranks.
Gel batteries are similar to ooded batteries,
but instead of antimony, calcium is used in the
lead plates. Additionally, silica is added to the
electrolyte solution, transforming the liquid into
a gel.
AGM batteries are designed to deliver powerful
bursts of starting amps and run for a long time.
"Absorbed Glass Mats" are used to cushion the
ultra-thin lead plates, allowing manufacturers to
include more leads into one battery and provide
more power. AGM batteries are divided into
two categories according to the cell structure.
They can be AGM FLAT PLATE and AGM SPIRAL.
This type of battery is ideal for vehicles with
automatic start-stop applications and braking
energy recovery.
Description
14
3) Voltage: 12V
When fully charged, automotive batteries should measure at
12.6 volts. However, this measurement should be from 13.7 to
14.7 when the engine is running. If the battery analyzer reads
less than this standard, it means that the battery's resting
voltage is weak. In this case, typically, the battery needs to be
charged or replaced.
4) CCA: 650A (SAE)
The CCA rating refers to how many amps a 12-volt battery
can deliver at 0°F in 30 seconds while maintaining at least a
7.2V voltage. This means that the higher the CCA rating is, the
easier the engine can be cranked in cold temperatures.
Preparation before Connection
1. Inspect the battery analyzer for any visible damage. Do not
use the device if it is damaged.
2. Check the test cable and clamps for any signs of wear
or damage. Only use cables and clamps that are in good
condition.
3. Securely connect the test cable to the device and tighten
the bolts properly.
1) Before connecting the clamps to the terminals, please use
sandpaper to polish off the corrosion on the battery terminals.
With this, you can avoid inaccurate test values.
2) Attach the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal, and connect
the black clamp to the negative (-).
• ALWAYS KEEP THE RED & BLACK CLAMPS FROM
TOUCHING.
Connect the Clamps to the Battery Terminals (See
Figure 3.3.1)
Note:
Choose the appropriate clamps based on the size of the
battery. Both of the two sets of clamps supplied are suitable
for testing batteries.
15
• ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE CABLE FROM THE
BATTERY FIRST AND RECONNECT IT LAST.
3) Once the clamps are properly connected, the battery analyzer
will power on automatically and be ready to conduct tests.
Note:
The BT600 Plus can be powered on by its built-in batteries
or the connected vehicle battery.

Battery Test Terminology:
The state of health shows the difference
between the battery being tested and a new
battery, considering cell aging. The SOH is
dened according to the maximum battery
charge ratio and its capacity.
The state of charge describes the difference
between a fully charged battery and
the same battery in use. It analyses the
remaining quantity of electricity available in
the cell. The SOC is established according to
the battery's remaining charge ratio, divided
by the maximum charge that the battery
can deliver.
The internal resistance is the opposition
to the current ow presented by the cells
and the battery itself, generating heat. Its
electronic resistance and ionic resistance
directly impact this indicator.
The CCA value you entered in the previous
step, that is, the CCA value listed on the
battery label. The difference of the rated CCA
between the actual CCA determines the test
result to a certain extent.

The device supports battery resistance reading from 0mΩ to
200Ω, and allows you to dene the lower and upper limit of
the tolerance range.
The device supports battery voltage reading from 0.00V to
±100.00V, and allows you to dene the tolerance value.
If the reading is between 0mΩ and the dened lower
tolerance limit, the comparison conclusion is PASS.
If the reading falls within the tolerance range, the comparison
conclusion is WARN, suggesting that the tested battery
requires further attention and increase in test frequency.
If the reading is between the dened upper tolerance limit
and 200Ω, the comparison conclusion is FAILED, suggesting
that the tested battery is potentially compromised and
should be further investigated.
At the same time, the device compares each stable voltage
reading with the lower voltage from the applied threshold
set.
If the reading is between the dened value and 100.00V, the
comparison result is PASS.
If the reading is between 0.00V and the dened value, the
comparison result is WARN.
