I bought this to check my batteries before winter. I can’t afford to replace a good battery and I don’t want to get stuck in the cold with a bad one. The BT500 comes neatly packaged. The manual has clearly worded instructions on how to use the BT500. The BY500 screen is large enough for all the information that will be displayed, bright enough to see in bright sunlight. Using the BT500 is as easy as selecting the test you want to run and following the on screen prompts. I tested my wife’s 5 year old battery and it was in great condition. While I had the BT500 connected I went ahead and tested her car's starter and charging system. Everything tested fine. I had been worried about this battery because of its age but it looks like it should be fine for this winter. It is nice to have a tool that is capable of running multiple types of tests. That feature in itself adds to the value of the BT500. The design is straightforward and easy to use. A USB cable comes with the BT500 so you can connect to your computer and print your test results if you wish. All in all this would be a great addition to your toolbox, because it has been for me. If I were to offer any suggestions for improving the BT500, the only thing I would suggest is to make the cables longer. Testing the charging system requires increasing engine RPM and maintaining a set level for the test. I was able to do this alone on my Versa with the battery close to the driver side firewall. The same test on my pickup requires two people, or jumper cables to extend the reach. Like I said just a suggestion to take care of an easy to work around inconvenience. All in all a good tool and definitely worth having.

I am old school. I am used to grabbing a multimeter and checking the voltage of a battery and determining by the results and date on the battery if the battery was good or not. Yeah sometimes I may have cut the life of a battery short and spent money on a new battery that I could have kept in my wallet. The BT500 changed all of that in a matter of seconds. When I would charge my battery and test it or not charge it for the test, the tester would provide me with pretty accurate numbers. It would confirm that a charged battery was charged and state of health was good or if I tested the uncharged battery the tester would confirm that the battery needed charge but overall health of the battery was good. My multimeter doesn't do that without multiple different tests I would have to take to attempt to get the SOH result that the BT500 would give me much faster. Not only is the test results simple to get, it's easy to use to get the answers you need. One of my preferences would be to provide the unit with extension cables or just much longer cables. Some of the tests require you to turn on lights for 10 seconds or raise your RPM's for a small amount of time during testing so that you can get an accurate result. The problem I had is that I work solo so the amount of time it takes me to go into the cab of the car to do one of those requests for the tests cuts close to half the amount of time recommended if not 90%of the time recommended for an accurate test result. I'm sure this wouldn't be a problem for people with a helper A major plus for me though since I do work solo is that when I did set the tester down on the platform near the battery so I could turn on the lights or raise the RPM's for a test I left the unit unattended (I would not recommend following my example) so it fell a couple of times but it did not damage the unit or cause an interruption of the test. It's a very durable unit The functionality of the unit makes each test easy to perform. The functionality of the buttons and instructions the unit provides makes testing easy even on my first use without reading the user manual provided. ( I recommend you read the user manual first; it does help with knowing what is going to be asked for during the tests. Plus explains abbreviations ect.). Value for money: the amount of money I saved from purchasing a new battery that I may not have needed to purchase makes the BT500 very affordable and worth every dime. I tested old batteries and different cars that had different batteries and the accuracy was very good. I would determine how good a battery was by the date it was made as marked by the manufacturer, the automobile the battery was in, yr, model, and accessories ect. And the unit gave results well within what my determinations/guesses were. I have around 35yrs of experience of working on vehicles and the unit gave results that I would have used while troubleshooting an electrical issue. Testing capabilities are important parts of the electrical systems: Battery state of health and charge, Charging test for your alternator/generator and CCA which will determine if the battery is strong enough to continue to start your vehicle or if the battery is wearing down and might need to be replaced but a vital part of the CCA test is the function of your starter. The starter gives a bad result then it could be the problem with the electrical system and the draining of your battery. That detail is one of my favorites This tester makes it easier to jump in the car to go help a friend or one of your kids that may be having issues on the road. It gives you quick results that can narrow down your issues
