Why workshops choose this high rate discharge tester
Selectable Load Levels
100A, 175A, 300A & 450A — covers bikes, cars, SUVs and diesel vehicles for realistic cranking load simulation.
True High Rate Discharge Test
Applies real cranking-level current — not a conductance estimate — to actual battery capacity under starter motor inrush conditions.
3.5-Digit LED Voltmeter
Battery-powered display — no external supply needed. Reads voltage drop precisely under load.
3-Color Status LEDs
Charged, Weak or Dead — instant pass/fail result, no interpretation needed.
AGM, EFB & Flooded Compatible
Works with all common 12V car battery types including start-stop AGM and enhanced flooded EFB batteries.
Workshop & Garage Ready
Compact 33×28×16.5 cm, only 5 kg — ideal for service bays, PDI lines and mobile battery testing in India.

Who uses the BCT-700 HRD tester
Car Workshops & Garages
A 10-second high rate discharge test per vehicle keeps bay turnaround fast on busy service days.
PDI & Dealership Bays
Pre-delivery inspection of new vehicle batteries with a repeatable cranking-load result, not an estimate.
Battery Dealers & Distributors
Settle warranty claims at the counter with an LED verdict rather than an argument over resting voltage.
Fleet & Commercial Operators
Screen truck, taxi and diesel fleets at 450A and retire weak batteries before they strand a driver.
Auto Electricians
Separate a genuinely dead battery from an alternator or starter fault before replacing parts.
Mobile Battery Testing
At 5 kg and 33 × 28 × 16.5 cm it travels to the vehicle — roadside, parking bay or customer site.
