Description
The Autel MaxiBAS BT506 is a professional‑grade auto battery and electrical system analysis tool designed for technicians, workshops, and advanced DIYers who need accurate insight into vehicle battery health and related electrical system performance.
Utilizing Adaptive Conductance technology, the BT506 delivers a more precise evaluation of battery condition, including cold‑cranking ability and reserve capacity and key factors in identifying weak or failing batteries before they cause a no‑start condition.
It supports both in‑vehicle and out‑of‑vehicle testing of 6 V and 12 V batteries (100–2000 CCA), and can assess 12 V and 24 V cranking/charging systems to analyze starter and alternator condition. The unit works with a range of battery types — including Flooded, AGM, AGM Spiral, EFB, and GEL — and is compatible with multiple rating standards such as CCA, CA, SAE, IEC, DIN, JIS and MCA.
Results can be viewed through a mobile app (free for iOS and Android), providing clear reports and helping guide maintenance decisions. Durable clamps with polarity protection make setup straightforward and safe. Overall, the BT506 is an efficient and reliable tool for battery diagnostics and electrical system evaluation.
