Key Features

• Advanced Battery Diagnostics: Employs patented Conductance Profiling™ technology to provide detailed information on battery State of Charge (SOC) and State of Health (SOH). This technology identifies batteries with low reserve capacity, which can be critical for supporting modern vehicle accessories.
• Comprehensive Electrical System Testing: Capable of diagnosing 12-volt and 24-volt battery packs, starter systems, and alternator performance. It also supports RP129, a recommended practice for electrical system diagnostics in heavy-duty applications.
• Battery Registration and System Reset: Includes built-in applications for battery registration and reset checklists, which are essential for properly integrating new batteries into vehicles equipped with Battery Management Systems (BMS).
• Integrated VIN Capture: Features an integrated camera for scanning Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs), allowing for the association of test records with specific vehicles.
• Streamlined Workflow: Utilizes pre-programmed service apps to facilitate quick and error-free testing, including test flows compliant with industry standards.
• Detachable Controller: The two-piece design allows for flexibility, with a detachable controller that enables easier navigation and the ability to share on-screen diagnostic results with customers.
• Wireless Connectivity and Updates: Supports automated over-the-air software updates and integrates with the Midtronics Battery Management Information System (BMIS) for data analytics and program maintenance.
• On-Demand Printing: An integrated printer allows for immediate printouts of test results, providing tangible records for service reports or customer review.

Applications

The Midtronics DSS-5000PKI Battery & Electrical System Tester is designed for use in a variety of professional automotive environments.

• Automotive Service Centers: Ideal for performing routine battery and electrical system checks, as well as advanced diagnostics.
• Dealerships: Supports warranty management, service diagnostics, and preventative maintenance for a diverse range of vehicle types.
• Heavy-Duty and Commercial Fleet Maintenance: Specifically engineered for heavy-duty commercial truck and fleet applications, supporting preventative maintenance and battery warranty management.
• Vehicle Inspection Processes: Useful for vehicle arrival inspections, pre-delivery inspections, and lot management to ensure optimal battery health.

Benefits

• Accurate Diagnostics: Conductance Profiling™ provides precise battery health assessments and significantly reduces "Charge & Retest" decisions, leading to more definitive diagnostic outcomes. This helps identify potential issues before they cause vehicle breakdowns.
• Improved Operational Efficiency: Pre-programmed apps and VIN capture streamline the testing process, minimizing errors and saving valuable technician time. The ability to test batteries while still assembled in the vehicle further reduces testing time.
• Enhanced Customer Satisfaction: Clear, shareable diagnostic results and proper battery registration contribute to accurate repairs and optimal vehicle performance, fostering customer trust.
• Extended Battery and Vehicle Life: Correct battery registration ensures that the vehicle's charging system operates efficiently with a new battery, preventing overcharging and extending the lifespan of both the battery and the vehicle's electrical components.
• Reduced Comback Rates: Accurate testing and the ability to perform necessary system resets help to address battery and electrical issues effectively the first time, reducing the need for repeat service visits.
• Future-Proof Technology: With support for conventional, AGM, EFB, and start-stop batteries, coupled with wireless software updates, the tester remains current with evolving vehicle and battery technologies.
