More Than Just a Battery Tester Autel MaxiBas BT608 For Mechanics

[@fitodaking16]

I just got mine yesterday. No instructions were included but the tool is simple to use. The loading of the paper was a bit tricky but once you get it it's very simple to load. Don't overthink it. My Autel BT608E included the screen protector. The tool has a premium feel. Worth the money.

[@ozzstars_cars]

I agree it's a great tool to own.

[@qiangyu4692]

Autel MaxiBAS BT608 is a good item, Ozzstar is a real mechanic!

[@ozzstars_cars]

Thanks

[@clinteastwood8222]

My battery is AGM and with the cost of batteries these days keep going up if it stops me throwing a good battery away i think the tool will pay for itself in time. Thank you for the great video. I’m in the uk 🇬🇧 and I’m sold on this Autel battery tester. Temperature is so important in part of fault diagnosis on a battery and this machine has it built into the clamps and taken into account in its onboard algorithm calculations it’s just an awesome tool 🤩

[@ozzstars_cars]

Glad you liked the video. Thanks for the comment Clint. Cheers mate!

[@RustyGlovebox]

Having good test equipment makes a job so much easier. Thanks for the demo Gen

[@ozzstars_cars]

Sure does and thanks Lloyd

[@chrissimon8403]

I wish they had this kind of equipment when I was on the bench wrenching!!

[@ozzstars_cars]

It is a helpful universal tool, anything to make the job easier.

[@RenegadesGarage]

Ozzstar's Cars... Awesome video bro... Another great tool from Autel.. I need a battery tester too. Thanks for sharing it.

[@mynamesjeff69]

Awesome video. Do you know if you are able to print out a the list of scanned codes under the regular diagnostics?

[@ozzstars_cars]

Just the battery test results but that would be a cool option.

[@404notfound.....]

That is super cool that it auto ID the battery. Nice demo 👌

[@ozzstars_cars]

Makes life a little easier. Thanks

[@kerrylewis2581]

I'm just a guy who enjoys wrenching on my vehicles, and I would love to have this in my toolbox, but it is a professional must. I own the Topdon BT200, which is good for a part-time guy who likes to tinker. FYI... Love your choice of truck (I own a 2016 5.0). Off to watch your other drops. Great job.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Thanks Kerry!

[@nickayivor8432]

Brilliant video tutorial great thank you

[@ozzstars_cars]

Glad you liked it! -Glen (Ozz)

[@stuzman52]

Looks like a very capable tool and has some pretty good features. It is an expensive tool, but you mentioned that it has lifetime updates, so that sounds good. Have a good one Glen and don't work too hard!

[@ozzstars_cars]

Can't beat free, right? I'm working harder than ever Terry. Two careers at one time isn't enough, now I have three.🤣

[@OneAuto]

That’s a great tool Ozz!

[@ozzstars_cars]

Yes it is, thanks Rob

[@pmtips4482]

That is one nice piece of equipment! At 25:22, it does not recommend an AGM replacement battery due to high temperature circumstances (can damage battery) in the engine compartment. I find that strange, as 90% of vehicles have AGM as OEM batteries. Nice demo!!

[@ozzstars_cars]

Thanks

[@wessmith1449]

I bought one of the machines when they 1st came out it's the best thing ever if you can afford it buy it you can buy extra paper on Amazon

[@ozzstars_cars]

The tool does work well and handy to own.

[@wyattoneable]

A tool for the professional and advanced DIY as well. It is a bit pricey but wow, lots of options.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Get what you pay for. Good luck on the sale of the blue Vette Wyatt.

[@gerardosanchez9576]

Is there an amp probe accessory?

[@ozzstars_cars]

Yes it is called BTAK

[@KipNuesch]

Those are marine battery and 31 series(screw top) battery testing/charging posts

[@frankmedina8752]

I have the same tool and I love it,

[@SteveRobReviews]

Very nice unit . 👍

[@ozzstars_cars]

Thanks and what do you think of the battery tester? haha Hope all is well Steve!

[@carterbolt5424]

can it make bms reset on ford territory 1.5L 2021??

[@ozzstars_cars]

@carterbolt5424 no idea. Never heard of that vehicle.

[@smms5056]

Awesome 👍 Thanks Man

[@ozzstars_cars]

You're welcome

[@ahmedal-hebshi549]

Great! How about the deep cycle batteries? Such as solar battery, etc.. Can we use this tool to test it. Thank you

[@ozzstars_cars]

Works with all sorts of car batteries like AGM.

[@carterbolt5424]

can it connect on an obd2 port??

[@ozzstars_cars]

@carterbolt5424 yes, that's what the wireless dongle is for.

[@questions703]

Does it detect parasitic battery draw and which culprit module?

[@KipNuesch]

Yes

[@ozzstars_cars]

If using the optional amp clamp or probes. I don't believe any device can tell you exactly what module is the culprit without testing.

[@questions703]

@@KipNuesch 😂😂😂 elaborate please.

[@questions703]

@@ozzstars_cars Thanks. It really would have been a game changer. Till then, i will just hang on to maxisys+multimeter.

[@nikolaikiritchenko1802]

just awesome sharing

[@ozzstars_cars]

Thanks

[@fitodaking16]

Do you know the difference between Otofix BT1 from the Autel BT608?

[@ozzstars_cars]

No I don't.

[@fitodaking16]

@@ozzstars_cars OTOFIX BT1 is made by Autel. The only difference I see is the price and color. OTOFIX is cheaper but looks just like the autel. Maybe the update is different, idk. I've been trying to figure it out. If someone knows the difference, pls comment. I really want to know lol

[@rileyoflife6520]

Do you know why it has what looks to be a camera in the negative clamp?

[@ozzstars_cars]

I have no idea what you are talking about. Can you explain?

[@rileyoflife6520]

I had a clamp break so I dissected it. Inside the negative clamp is a camera. If you squeeze the negative clamp and look inside of it while it’s open you can see it. I would send you a picture but I don’t know how.

[@ozzstars_cars]

@@rileyoflife6520 [e-mail]

[@francoispapadakis76]

That provides the battery temperature to the BT608 according to their instruction video.

[@LondonLube]

Hopefully this helps. Had to send it back to dealer. What a nightmare. Autel wouldn’t help either. We've been having nothing but issues with vehicle coverage. We're unable to decode vin on some 4 & 3 year old vehicles such as Ford, GM etc. There are no pending updates on the device. We can't enter the vehicle manually such as the 2021 Ford Explorer or even a 2020 Chevy truck.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Sounds like the secure vehicle gateway system causing you some headaches.

[@LondonLube]

@@ozzstars_cars not at all. Autel tech support confirmed the lack of coverage.

[@ozzstars_cars]

@@LondonLube which model tool do you have?

[@LondonLube]

@@ozzstars_cars BT608. Same one in your video. Later noticed that Autel USA website has no mention of vehicle coverage for this device. When I questioned tech support, they said they’re working on an update but can’t confirm release date. They’re only 4 years behind 😄

[@Jpetovic]

Thanks for the info

Hell yea got me one going to learn the shit out of this device Autel all the best!!!!

Very Nice and complet unit here!

[@anidiotinaracingcar]

It's weird it doesn't show the internal resistance of the battery (in mΩ)

[@benhodgson8372]

be awesome if it did oil/service reset too at that price be a service techs go too tool

[@ozzstars_cars]

It does on most cars.

[@benhodgson8372]

@@ozzstars_cars oh does it was having a look on website didn't say it could do oil and service lights just says reads and erase codes, can it do any other hot functions like the normal autel scan tools do

[@ozzstars_cars]

@benhodgson8372 @benhodgson8372 my fault sorry. I just looked at the video and I thought you were asking about the BT906. The BT608 doesn't reset oil/ service lights

[@benhodgson8372]

@ozzstars_cars lol it's ok, still a good tool tho

[@fitodaking16]

Did you know the clamp has a temp sensor built in. I just found that out.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Interesting

[@fitodaking16]

@@ozzstars_cars if you open the clamp, you will see the sensors. It helps with the accurate reading.

That ripple isn’t crazy. It’s just zoomed in on 42 mv. That’s actually pretty low.
