Autel Battery Tester MaxiBAS BT608 (E), Upgrade of BT508 BT506, 6-12V 100-3000CCA Battery Tester, Cranking Charging System Tester w/Printer Adaptive Conductance, All Diagnosis as MK808S MX808S

I was looking extensively for a robust car battery tester with high accuracy for months. I found the Autel BT 608 (E) Battery Tester. This little device is packed with a plathera of features that will amaze you! As a DYI person whose does basic maintenance on many cars, this marvel of technology allows anyone to check car batteries simply following a series of prompts on the five inch color touch screen. Okay, sounds interesting right. Well this unit will test lead/acid flooded, enchanted flooded, AGM flat and AGM spiral and GEL using adaptive conductance for 6 volt to 12 volt batteries. It’s a wi-fi, and blue tooth enabled device with “lifetime” updated via wi-fi on many car manufacturers speciations that are periodically updated. Did I mention the Bluetooth dongle? Yes, it has an obdII dongle so it can populate the screen with information from the car itself! Believe me there more features as well like a built-in thermal printer…etc. The only downside is the price. At the time of this review I payed about $540 plus taxes. It’s a professional level tool for a good price. Auto dealers have just as accurate battery testers that costs thousands. This is a purchase is one I do not regret because of all the features. I can literally check any car battery, alternator and starter in about 10 minutes and give the owner a printout with all the relevant information with a high level of accuracy.

All of the battery testing in vehicle and out of vehicle are excellent. All battery functions with vehicles up to 2025 with latest updates. Customer service is excellent! I already have the mk808 & ts508. Autel makes great products. The diagnostics could use an update. Most vehicles are 2020-2021 but I know it’s in work for the next free lifetime updates.

My shop does 12v automotive installations and this is a great tool for for them. Can test the starting/charging/battery of a vehicle and pull freeze data. Print out pdf's of results (have to download a program from autel.com to print from pc connected printer after you register device) for clients and to document vehicle conditions before and after installations. It's a fairly new product from autel, so vehicle coverage is still being updated but covers most vehicles, and comes with free updates for life for vehicle coverage. Since purchasing autel has made it possible to use camera as a stand alone and you can take pictures of your install for quick reference if needed (great for making guides for future installs or referring back to if product needs disconnected during a repair for some reason) Has in-depth multimeter functionality for tracking down shorts, open circuits, wire testing, etc. Can also test 48v hybrid batteries, though, I have yet a reason use that function, and walk you through battery reset procedures for vehicles that have a relearning state/reset. The UI is fairly simple, but takes some getting used to, could use a little fine tuning, but this has become a tool I use before and after install. Plus th UI is still being updated along with everything else.

I have several Autel products and continue to buy more. I work for a large masonry company, one of the largest in my state, and I am in charge of service and repairs of a fleet of 54 trucks and 45 forklifts as well as several other pieces of equipment including several commercial vehicles. I bought Autel MaxiBAS BT608 to replace my Snap-On MicroVat Battery tester. I couldn't be more satisfied. Autel has not let me down! They continue to offer high quality tools that never let me down. The seller Autel USA has offered top notch tech support and check in to make sure that I am completely satisfied with their products. I would not hesitate to purchase any Autel products that I may need.

This is the best battery tester I have ever owned it is very simple to use easy to read and does everything I needed to do I like how the screen is big and easy to read and easy to operate anybody can do it the printer has graphics on it and print out everything that you have tested for those moments you need to save stuff without having to make a file I highly recommend the battery tester and also a lot of the scanners that autel has they are one of the better products I have ever bought highly recommend

I bought this so I can use it in all of its capacity in a professional setting. Don't get me wrong the main function of testing batteries, starters, and Alternators is a perfect fit every time. However if you intend to use the diagnostic features or the battery reset options, the vehicle has to be a 2020 or older. I sat on hold for 5+ hours waiting for an Autel employee to tell me that there wasn't any software for the newer vehicles released and my machine would only support up to 2017. When I told him that was an out right lie he then proceeded to tell me it wasn't avaliable to Autel. This is a joke. How am supposed to use this "professional" machine, in a professional setting if I can't access the newer vehicles I see on a regular basis? They don't even offer a subscription to update for pay. All support had to say was to buy a specific modle scanner that is way out of my price range, and the subscription for that to do what I need. So, if you need just a tester, than this is your tool, but if you want to use the other features to their fullest, it has to be 2020 or older.

I am still trying to get used to the features this offers, but its absolutely amazing and great quality product by Autel. This is beyond accurate! Would highly recommend!!

Autel itself is a great product, however you assume that something listed as a 2024 upgrade is current and uptodate. This person sold a product listed as a 2024 upgrade when in reality the product is 2019 or older. I can only use this for vehicles that are 2019 an older. Missing five years of all the manufactures. Now I have to find a way to try and update this to 2024 myself, likely having to spend additional money. ((Should have purchased from a dealer or Autel directly) I forget amazon can be misleading with certain sellers or untrustworthy sources etc...
