Autel MaxiBAS BT506 Battery and Electrical System Tester

Autel MaxiBAS BT506 is a professional wireless battery and electrical system tester designed to test battery health as well as vehicle starting and charging systems using a compatible Autel tablet or mobile device.

BT506 uses Autel’s Adaptive Conductance technology to evaluate the battery’s actual condition, cold-cranking capability, and remaining capacity. The technology helps identify weakened batteries and reduce unnecessary battery replacements.

The device supports testing of 6 V and 12 V batteries both in and out of the vehicle. It can also be used to test starting and charging systems on compatible 12 V and 24 V vehicles.

BT506 connects via Bluetooth to a compatible Autel diagnostic tablet or mobile device, where test results and guided procedures are displayed clearly.
