## Description

From the manufacturer The ANCEL BA101 can be used to test a wide range of 12V batteries including Starting, Lighting, and Ignition (SLI), Deep Cycled and Marine (Flooded), VRLA or Maintenance Free (MF), Sealed Maintenance Free (SMF), Absorption Glass Mat (AGM), and GEL cell. The major battery standards JIS, SAE, EN, DIN, and IEC are supported. BA101 12V car battery can easily, quickly and accurately measure the actual cold cranking amps capability, the health status of the battery itself, and the common fault of the vehicle's starting system and charging system. The BA101 Advantages Simple and easy to use batteries on and off the vehicle Accurate results in milliseconds Battery life analysis Analysis results: Good or Replace Large easy to read LCD screen Test results based on JIS, EN, DIN, SAE and IEC Standards Inputs battery volume (AH), then shows battery status Vehicle cranking system test - cranking time, voltage and status Store the testing result and the print function Vehicle charging system test—load voltage, unloaded voltage, ripple status, and charging system status BA101 Functions Test Results: Good or Replace Internal resistance value (m) Life in percentage (%) Cranking system Charging system Operating Parameters System voltage: 12 Volts Input voltage range: 9V~15V Power requirements: No internal batteries required Is the battery good or does it need to be replaced? Five Different Results of Battery Testing GOOD BATTERY: The battery is without any problem. GOOD, RECHARGE: Good battery but low current, and recharge before using. REPLACE: The battery is already at or near the end of its use life, and please replace the battery. BAD CELL, REPLACE: Battery interior damaged, bad cell or short circuit, and replace the battery. CHARGE-RETEST: Unstable battery shall be recharged and retested to avoid error. It tests the battery's CCA (or AH) value, charge (%), voltage (v), internal resistance (Ω), rated, and battery health (%), etc. After a comprehensive analysis of the data, it provides an accurate whether a battery is good or needs to be replaced. The test result is shown directly by text prompt, giving an accurate display of the battery with percentage and numerical values. Conductance correlates directly to the battery capacity. The passive testing method is safe. Never discharges or drain the battery. Able to test the condition of the discharged battery. Consistent and repeatable results. It provides a unique indication of battery conditions. Powers up when connected to the battery posts during testing. It provides checking the Alternator's charging and Starter's cranking conditions. It is maintenance free and no internal batteries required. Multiple Battery Standards Support It can test by AH and CCA values but also applies to other test standards such as BCI, CA, MCA, JIS, DIN, IEC, EN, SAE, GB. If your battery standard is AH standard, you can input the AH value to test in the "Quick Test" menu. If your battery is CCA or another standard, please input the CCA or other value to test in the "Battery in Vehicle" or "Battery out of vehicle" test menu. Fast and Accurate Reading It adopts the world's most advanced conductance testing technology to date for accurate and authoritative test results. It quickly analyzes the data, usually taking 2-3 seconds to display the results. Easy to use, it can quickly and accurately identify battery problems. Print Data Steps Before using the print data function, it is necessary to connect the tool to a computer via the USB cable. Once ready, please insert the CD to the computer. Install the USB driver first. Open the print software, and choose the COM Port NO. Then choose the function of print data to start printing.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this tester work with 6V or 24V batteries?**
A: No, this tester is designed for 12V lead-acid batteries (30–200Ah). It does not support lithium, 6V (below 30Ah), or 24V systems. For 6V or 24V testing, consider the BA101 Pro or Plus, with Plus supporting 6V+12V and Pro supporting 12V+24V

**Q: Is this tester powered by a built-in battery?**
A: No. Like most car battery testers, it is powered by the vehicle’s 12V battery during testing for more accurate results. Testers with built-in batteries are typically basic voltage/esistance testers and not intended for automotive system diagnostics.

**Q: How can I get the most accurate test results?**
A: For best accuracy, make sure the correct battery type, battery standard, and CCA rating are selected. Always connect the clamps directly to the battery terminals. For stable results, test the battery after the engine has been off for about 2 hours.

**Q: Do I need to remove the battery from the vehicle to test it?**
A: No. The battery can be tested directly on the vehicle, making routine checks faster and more convenient. Our tester offers two modes: “battery in vehicle” and “battery out of vehicle.” You can choose the mode that best fits your testing situation

**Q: Is this tester safe to use?**
A: Yes. It is built with reverse polarity protection and high-performance power cables to ensure safe and reliable testing, helping protect both the tester and the vehicle’s electrical system during use
