Tecmate OptiMate TS-120, charging tester

OptiMate TS-120.

12 V tester for battery state of charge, cranking performance and vehicle charging system.

The ultimate pocket tester for on-vehicle battery performance & alternator voltage testing with either 12 V lead-acid or 12.8 V LiFePO4 starter battery – easy troubleshooting from cranking to charging!

Features

• For vehicles fitted with 12V AGM, GEL and STD lead-acid or 12.8V LFP / LiFePO4 starter battery
• As easy as 1-2-3, connect to battery, check state of charge, start engine tester displays cranking voltage and vehicle charge voltage simultaneously – 15 sec is all you need!
• Display cranking volts down to 6V and charge voltage range up to 15 V – Check weak battery or overcharging
• Easy to use! Connect with the included clips to the battery or connect to an installed SAE battery lead
• Length: 40″/100 cm
• Charge connector (input): 2-pin SAE (+set battery clips)
• Operation:  fully automatic
•  State of charge result in GREEN / RED LED resuls, indication of lowest start Volts when engine starts (20 sec) and running voltage from alternator & voltage regulator
• Cable rating: SPT-2W 16 AWG (1.32 mm2)
• Fuse: No fuse
• Use: -40 °C/-40 °F very low temperature, remains flexible at ‘below freezing’ temperatures
• Style: Fully enclosed electronic circuitry with multiple LEDs, SAE charge connector

Easy to use!

• Connect clips to the battery or connect to an installed SAE battery lead, then check battery charge level. A low battery cranks (starts engine) poorly.
• Start engine. OptiMate TEST records and indicates (for 20 sec) the lowest start volts.
• With engine running, verify charging voltage from alternator and voltage regulator.

Tip

Low charge voltage causes poor battery performance. Too high charge voltage causes excessive gassing and will eventually damage a lead-acid battery. Too high charge voltage is FATAL for a LiFePO4 starter battery!
