Description

AutoMeter BVA-260 Professional Grade Intelligent Hand-Held 6V & 12V Electrical System Analyzer with 120 Amp Load

One of the most technologically advanced handheld testers currently available, the BVA-260 sets the bar for accuracy, speed and ease of use. Using our patented Digital Pulse Load™ technology to deliver a BCI compliant true load test, the BVA-260 can precisely diagnose the battery, starting and charging system in under 82 seconds. This unit is AGM optimized for compatibility with nearly all battery types. This adds up to a tester that in many cases delivers a superior test result to even traditional Carbon Pile testers. A convenient USB output allows test data to be displayed as an Excel™ spreadsheet for nearly unlimited storage capacity and data analysis as well as easy software updates. Featuring a menu system revised to eliminate extra steps, nearly anyone can pick up the unit and use it right out of the box. Enhanced customer communications and “next step” messages aid in diagnosis and enhance credibility. The BVA-260 is also compatible via infrared with the AutoMeter PR-12 printer for easy communication with the customer.

View the battery matching guide
Is matching the voltage enough?

No. Chemistry, dimensions, connector type, polarity, terminal position and charging requirements must also match.

Which number should I compare?

Use the complete model or part number printed on the original item. Include every prefix, suffix, dash and revision where shown.

What if my device model is not listed?

Do not assume compatibility from appearance alone. Compare the original part number and specifications or confirm the requirements in the device documentation.
