At 320g (0.7 lb.) and roughly the size of a deck of cards, the BT506 is designed to live in a technician's toolbox — always ready when a customer comes in with a slow crank or a battery-related complaint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BT506 uses Adaptive Conductance technology — an analysis method that measures a battery's actual cold cranking ability and reserve capacity rather than just voltage. This matters because a battery can show 12.4V on a voltmeter and still be failing. Adaptive Conductance gives you a more accurate picture of true battery health, which means fewer comebacks from misdiagnosed battery failures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BT506 connects to the vehicle via the included battery clamps and communicates wirelessly via Bluetooth to the free Autel app on your iOS or Android device. Test results display directly on your phone or tablet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBattery Testing Coverage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports in-vehicle and out-of-vehicle battery testing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTests 6-volt and 12-volt batteries: \u003cstrong\u003e100–2000 CCA range\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTests 12-volt and 24-volt cranking and charging systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery types supported: \u003cstrong\u003eFlooded, AGM, AGM Spiral, EFB, GEL\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRating standards: \u003cstrong\u003eCCA, CA, SAE, EN, IEC, DIN, JIS, MCA\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnectivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bluetooth V3.0 BR\/EDR + V4.2 LE Dual-Mode; USB 2.0 Type-C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCCA Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100–2000 A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6–36V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorking Current:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt;150 mA at 12V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Battery:\u003c\/strong\u003e None (powered via USB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 107mm x 75mm x 26mm (4.21\" x 2.95\" x 1.02\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320g (0.7 lb.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e -10°C to 50°C (14°F to 122°F)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBT506 tester unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnected cable with battery clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBT506 vs. BT508 vs. BT608 — Choosing the Right Battery Tester\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BT506 is the app-dependent entry model: no screen on the device, results on your phone.
