Frequently Asked Questions
- What types of batteries can the BT-3006M test?
This tester supports 6V, 12V, and 24V lead-acid batteries including those in cars, trucks, tractors, mining vehicles, rail systems, and aircraft support equipment. It’s suited for both starting batteries and deep-cycle batteries up to N200 size or 2000 CCA. - How accurate is the current control on this unit?
The HD carbon pile rheostat gives you precise manual control over the load, allowing for accurate simulation of real-world conditions. Combined with dual analogue meters, the tester offers live feedback and fine adjustment to assess battery behaviour under stress. - Is it safe to use during continuous testing?
Yes. The BT-3006M is dual-fan cooled, preventing overheating even during repeated or extended test sessions. It’s designed for professional environments where multiple battery checks are done daily—without compromising safety or accuracy. - What industries benefit most from using the BT-3006M?
It’s ideal for use in railway maintenance, mining operations, aviation ground crews, agricultural service centres, and heavy fleet workshops. Wherever large-capacity batteries are used, the BT-3006M ensures fast, thorough load testing with confidence. - Can it be used portably in field service situations?
Absolutely. Despite its robust build, the BT-3006M is designed for carry-style operation and features a compact footprint with durable casing and cable storage. It’s suitable for mobile technicians and off-site battery assessments where reliability matters.
