Good video. You can select the exact battery capacity you desire by pressing on the numbers in the grey box (right-hand side above the presets) and type-in the exact number required. You might then get closer results to your paper-based examples? Your clips are they same as mine which was purchased direct from Launch earlier this week.
Nice tip. I never thought of that lol and I haven't seen anyone else do that yet... I sold my launch Tester on, mainly because the app won't work on my phone, I've stayed with the sealey as the app works both on my diag and my phone and I found the build quality that bit better.
A battery tester would be better than cheaper alternatives if you could connect it to the battery while driving and see the SOC (State of Charge) as an instantaneous value and as a graph in time. I don't understand for the life of me why all cars don't have the SOC displayed all the time on our dashboard.
@zbigniewrichard8291 Most modern cars do monitor the state of charge and state of health them self's. You can use diagnostic computers to see it in live data. Like yourself, I believe that info should be accessible on the dash. Some cars will give you battery voltage and charge voltage, but don't give you a state of health which is the most important, if your car gave you that info or popped up a warning saying battery heath bellow minimum requirement please replace, it would prevent a lot of flat battery breakdowns lol
@@azerotha4531 That is exactly what I want to avoid since most modern cars (including my car) don't even alert you about the battery's state of health. You just find that bad news at the worst possibly moment. I am particulary annoyed about missing SOC value on the dashboard since the electrical system of my car has a Battery Monitoring System device near the negative pole of the battery. That is why I presumed BST360 can send continuous data to my compatible Launch X431 Pro5 tablet that will draw a graph under Battery Test section.
@CJ.A-C surprisingly, you don't get instructions, and every video i watched never mentioned it lol, this is why comments help, every day is a school day, and the video wasn't how Accurate is the slider, its how well it tests batteries of certain designs and ages, on a regular basis I get people coming to me saying a various garages that failed a battery using various Testers when I tested it, using my works tester it passed, so I just wanted to try a few and see for my self, not all Testers are the same.
@@azerotha4531 well done .question what was your view on the launch.i use the 7 version overpriced over rated and expensive to run.i know only do a/c on trucks and cars . iknow 7 people who have the launch and not one of them have upgraded after 2 years up
@CJ.A-C it works great for my needs I'm in the breakdown industry and mainly use it for battery coding the dreaded adblue resets and general code reading and clearing, it will struggle to do the resets and coding on cars from 2022 onwards because most manufacturers are using secure diagnostic access which means you need to have accounts with them and pay them to unlock the control units to do the necessary resets coding etc, I also use the companies Bosch diagnostics which can unlock the moduels but it's a fiddley system to use and surprisingly the launch is simpler to use and actually does a better job, but when I need a car unlocked from the manufacturer I'll use the bosch to unlock the moduels which usually gives you an hour or 2 access, then use the launch to do the work, I paid about £700 for that unit with 2 year updates, the unit will continue to work fine once the updates run out but once you need it for a car that has been made after the last update it won't work effectively or at all, but if you tend to work on older cars there shouldn't be any issues. At the moment, it won't work on the brand new transit custom as launch have not yet done the software for it. Hopefully, they release that soon and if I didn't have the free updates I'd have to use bosch which I don't like lol.

clear as mud why didnt you learn it before you try to demonstrait it.
