Product Features

2022 Newest Upgrade of BT506

The Autel MaxiBAS BT608E car battery tester is designed to test 6V/12V Flooded, AGM, AGM Spiral, EFB, and GEL batteries with capacities from 100 to 3000 CCA. It functions as a complete standalone touchscreen battery tester and cranking & charging system analyzer, compatible with CCA, CA, SAE, EN, IEC, DIN, JIS, and MCA protocols, and supports 12V/24V cranking & charging system tests.

Intelligent Adaptive Conductance

The Autel MaxiBAS BT608E applies innovative adaptive conductance technology (worth $1000+) for more accurate examinations. It easily diagnoses low-capacity batteries without requiring charge-and-retest cycles like traditional testers. It achieves a test accuracy rate of 94.11%, a bad battery detection rate of 63.55%, reduces charge-and-retest by 30.03%, and accurately assesses battery State of Health (SOH), cold cranking ability, and reserve capacity.

Cranking and Charging System Test

The BT608E supports in-vehicle and out-of-vehicle testing of passenger vehicle batteries and 12V/24V cranking/charging systems. Cranking and charging diagnostics evaluate the starter system, cranking voltage, engine cranking speed, and generator status. Results appear on-screen for quick assessment of system performance.

All-System Diagnostics & Auto VIN

The Autel MaxiBAS BT608E offers the same diagnostic capabilities as Autel’s MX808, MK808, MK808BT, MK808TS, MP808, MP808K, and MP808TS models. It reads and clears codes from all available vehicle systems, displays live data, freeze-frame data, and ECU information for over 80 US, EU, and Asian car makes—including models up to 2019/2020 and select 2022 vehicles.

Battery Registration for 53 Vehicle Makes

The battery registration function informs the engine control module (DME) of a newly installed battery, resetting old battery statistics. This prevents issues such as overcharging (which shortens battery life), energy management system malfunctions, start-stop system failures, vehicle no-start conditions, IGR malfunctions, and ineffective energy recovery.

Electric Appliance Reset

After battery replacement or registration, some vehicle systems may malfunction due to power loss. The BT608E includes an "Electric Appliance Reset" feature to re-initialize or restore critical safety and convenience systems, including sunroof, lane-departure warning, pre-collision systems, and emission inspection/maintenance programs.

Lifetime Free Software Updates & Wi-Fi Printing

The Autel BT608E includes lifetime free software updates and a 1-year warranty to ensure access to the latest features. Users can print or share customized reports via Wi-Fi or use the built-in thermal printer. With its comprehensive battery and charging system diagnostics, the BT608E serves as your car battery’s trusted diagnostic expert.

Product Functions

Powerful Compatibility

The BT608E eliminates compatibility concerns—it supports multiple battery standards including CCA, CA, SAE, EN, IEC, DIN, JIS, and MCA. It can diagnose cranking and charging system failures in cars, motorcycles, trucks, RVs, ATVs, SUVs, boats, yachts, and even lawnmowers.

Intelligent Adaptive Conductance

Leveraging adaptive conductance technology, the BT608E delivers approximately 95% test accuracy to minimize misdiagnosis, detects up to 64% of failing batteries to identify low-capacity units, and reduces charge-and-retest cycles by 30%—improving workshop efficiency. Based on extensive market research and rigorous calculations, Autel ensures precise measurement of CCA and reserve capacity for a premium user experience.

Auto Battery Registration & Electrical System Reset

The BT608E provides clear, step-by-step battery registration guidance and enables one-touch registration for over 53 vehicle brands—no additional tools required. After battery replacement, it also resets lost electrical component positions (e.g., sunroof, windows, doors) to restore full functionality.

Full Systems Diagnostics & Auto VIN Scan

Beyond battery testing, the BT608E performs full-system diagnostics like a professional scanner. When connected to the OBD DLC, it automatically displays vehicle information—eliminating manual entry. Users can also scan VIN or license plates with the built-in camera for quick identification (*note: not compatible with all vehicles*).

Bluetooth & Wi-Fi Wireless Connection

The included VCI device connects to the vehicle via Bluetooth. Users can access the VCI manager menu on the BT608E to check communication status and update VCI firmware. Wi-Fi connectivity also enables timely software updates.
