Excellent video but the flashing Mr Fix logo every 30 seconds was not needed. You will get more viewers and support by stopping this annoying distraction. I have purchased my BT460 tester and hope it helps out with my batteries.
Mark Bennett, I agree with you. It was very annoying watching this video with him flashing that logo when it was not needed - so distracting. I stopped watching the video, but I just had to post this comment.
Great video, I am thinking about grabbing one of these. I don't really need one right now, but I wouldn't mind having one. I'd likely use it on a car I have that is 5 years old with its original battery, I am betting that battery is starting to show its age now. Being able to test alternators is a nice bonus. Sure allot places will do this kinda test for free in my area, but I like having my own tools.
...i had this very same tester and compared to other units that i have, the results were not very accurate as far as overall battery health; inconsistent results...gave it away.
I have many complaints about it. First, it takes forever to get to the test. Average tech won't have a major issue, although this wastes precious seconds in the shop. We have dozens to test at a time so you're talking an additional 15 minutes or more compared to a unit with a quick test using previous settings. Second, where's the settings? Any settings? Where's the battery chemistry options? Third, overall it feels cheap and thin; not up to the task of protecting itself against the harsh environment of a shop. This complaint was reserved for last as it may be more robust than it appears, time will tell. However, it completely lacks any rubberization. Looking for a new one.
@@mrfixpl -- Still looking for one to replace it. Not many out there with a color monitor. I think I'm hooked on that considering the day and age. It's difficult to find a comparison of testers aimed at professional techs.
I have one observation. When performing the first test, you should disconnect the positive cable from the battery, and only then connect the tester. The measurement will then be more accurate.

Thanks for your feedback. I already stopped using it.

Great vid. I have had my Honda CRV battery die and leave me in a bad situation more than once so this looks real promising.
Excellent review! Thanks!
can we use it to lifepo4 200ah solar battery
Why did you select DIN when testing the BMW battery? It should have been 800 EN, false reading.
You are right
BT460 is dedicated to 24V (although works with 12V)
BT360 is more accurate when used on 12V only.
Cool. I'm getting one, then.
Is this tester accurate?
In my experience it is.
Please the agm battery read ah ?

Hi! Just published my thoughts about yet another car battery tool: ua-cam.com/video/HLZyQGLlQos/v-deo.html
They advertise good for all types of batteries flooded gel AGM etc but no separate choice for those in the menu - ???
An "Autool Tech" answered back under another BT460 video and said the battery TYPE is auto detected... - well maybe so lol
