Operation Introduction
Before Test:
-
Before you test a battery in a vehicle, turn off the ignition, all accessories and loads. Close all of the vehicle’s doors and trunk lid.
-
Make sure the battery terminals are clean. Use a wire brush to clean them, if necessary.
NOTE: This tester works best if the battery connectors have been removed and the battery posts have been cleaned. Any corrosion between the tester clamps and the battery connectors, or between the battery connectors and the battery posts, will degrade the tester’s efficiency. -
Connect the RED (+) Positive Battery Clamp to the (+) positive battery terminal, and connect the BLACK (-) Negative Battery Clamp to the (-) negative battery terminal. Ensure that the clamps are securely attached to the correct terminals.
-
Open the Bluetooth on mobile device or tablet.
-
Test Introduction

FAQ
Q: Can BTMOBILE PRO test the battery installed in the vehicle?
A: Yes, it supports in-vehicle and out-of-vehicle testing.
Q: Is the test result accurate?
A: Yes. Our BTMOBILE PRO features advanced conductance detection giving you
accurate test results in seconds.
Q: What batteries can BTMOBILE PRO work on?
A: It works on 12V regular flooded, AGM Flat plate, AGM Spiral, GEL and Deep
Cycle batteries, with CCA between 100 to 2000.
Q:Is BTMOBILE PRO designed with any built-in protections?
A:Yes. It offers peace of mind with extra-safe Reverse Polarity and Sparkproof
protection, and easy operations even if you’re new to battery testing.
Q: How do I confirm if my vehicle battery is bad or good?
A: The battery tester will display SOH (State of Health), SOC (State of
Charge), CCA (Cold Cranking Ampere), Voltage, Internal Resistance, and Rating,
with an intuitive test result of “GOOD” or “BAD” for your reference.If the
internal resistance is too large, it indicates a broken battery.
Q: Can this battery tester estimate the remaining capacity of my battery?
A: Yes.The battery tester will display SOC (State of Charge) to express as a
percentage of your battery’s rated capacity, a measure of its condition to
assess the potential energy.
Note that a decent SOC (State of Charge) doesn’t mean the battery is in good condition. You need to refer to your battery’s actual CCA Value and Internal Resistance for further analysis.
