Accuracy Plus Battery Tester w/ Printer - OTC Tools and Equipment

The OTC Tools and Equipment Accuracy Plus Battery Tester with Printer, Model 3166, is a comprehensive diagnostic tool designed for professional automotive and industrial applications. This dual-purpose unit functions as both a battery load tester and a starting/charging system tester, providing an all-in-one solution for evaluating critical electrical components. It quickly checks the battery, starter, voltage regulator, alternator, and diodes to ensure optimal vehicle performance.

Key Features

• Internal Load Capability: Employs internal circuitry to apply a load to the battery and electrical system, ensuring accurate and repeatable test results across different vehicles and technicians. It monitors charging system behavior under both loaded and no-load conditions.
• Discharged Battery Testing: Features an internal battery, enabling the unit to test deeply discharged batteries down to a zero state of charge and make diagnostic decisions without requiring prior charging.
• Rapid Diagnostics: Delivers accurate test results for the battery and starting/charging system in approximately 40 seconds, streamlining diagnostic workflows.
• Broad Compatibility and Range: Supports selectable battery ratings for Cold Cranking Amps (CCA), Cranking Amps (CA), and Amp Hours (AH). It accommodates a test range of 50 to 2,000 CCA and 1.0 to 14 volts, and is compatible with various battery types, including new acid-flooded batteries.
• Wireless Print Functionality: The No. 3166 includes wireless remote printing capabilities, allowing technicians to generate and print comprehensive system reports with the press of a button, without the need for cables or wires.
• Robust Load Test Technology: Utilizes load test technology that is less sensitive to connection quality and side terminal batteries compared to conductance-type testers, enhancing reliability for in-vehicle testing.

Applications

The Accuracy Plus Battery Tester is suitable for a range of professional applications, including routine vehicle maintenance, pre-delivery inspections, and advanced electrical system troubleshooting. It provides technicians with the capability to accurately diagnose battery health and the performance of the starter, alternator, and voltage regulator in passenger vehicles, commercial trucks, and industrial equipment.
