The Vident iBT200 is a sophisticated 12V and 24V battery analyzer designed for comprehensive assessment of lead-acid starting batteries, their cranking systems, and charging systems. This device offers a user-friendly experience with its high-resolution LCD display and intuitive button operation, ensuring safe, clear, and convenient testing. It is an essential tool for professionals in battery sales, vehicle repair, and equipment inspection, particularly for systems reliant on lead-acid starting batteries.
The primary function of the iBT200 is to determine the condition of a lead-acid starting battery by evaluating its capacity, cranking performance, and the integrity of the vehicle's charging system.
For Battery Capacity Test, the iBT200 assesses the battery's health based on its rated value. It guides the user through a process that ensures accurate readings by first recommending to turn off the engine and all devices. If the battery has recently been charged, the device suggests turning on headlights for 2-3 minutes to normalize the voltage before testing. The test results provide crucial information such as voltage, State of Charge (SOC), State of Health (SOH), internal resistance (Battery Ω), and the rated CCA (Cold Cranking Amps). The device categorizes the battery's health into "GREAT," "NORMAL," "CAUTION," or "SUGGEST REPLACE!" with corresponding LED indicators (GREEN, YELLOW, RED) for quick visual assessment. This allows users to quickly understand if a battery is in good condition, needs attention, or requires replacement.
The Cranking Test evaluates the battery's ability to start the engine by measuring cranking voltage and time. This test is crucial for identifying issues within the starting system. The iBT200 provides a "CRANKING GOOD" or "CRANKING ABNORMAL" indication based on voltage readings. For 12V systems, readings above 9.6V (or 16V for 24V systems) indicate good cranking. If the reading is below this threshold, the device suggests checking associated parts like connections, wires, the starter, and battery terminals for corruption. A detailed reference table helps interpret cranking voltage and ability, ranging from "Good" to "Very Bad," with recommended actions from "No Action" to "Replace It Immediately."
The Charging Test assesses the vehicle's charging system under both loaded and unloaded conditions. This helps determine if the alternator and other charging components are functioning correctly. The iBT200 displays ripple voltage, loaded voltage, and unloaded voltage, providing a "CHARGING GOOD" or "CHARGING ABNORMAL" status. A reference table for 12V systems offers guidance on engine performance based on battery voltage under different conditions (all electric system off or on, with or without depressing the accelerator). This test helps diagnose issues such as overcharging, undercharging, or excessive ripple, which can damage the battery and other electronic components.
The iBT200 is designed for ease of use and safety.
The iBT200 is built with durability and user safety in mind, requiring minimal maintenance but emphasizing important precautions.
