Everyone wants to be first with this or first with that. Snap-on’s new Wireless Battery System Tester (EECS400) is truly the first of its kind – a “must have” tool to help techs conduct more battery system testing faster and more efficiently.
“The Snap-on EECS400 is the first battery system tester in the industry that checks battery, starting and charging systems wirelessly,” said David Brekke, category manager for Snap-on. “This versatile tool gives service technicians the newfound freedom to move around the vehicle, rev the engine and operate load controls while viewing the hand-held unit’s screen commands and results. The EECS400 will allow service technicians to perform more battery testing jobs during the course of the day without the need for a second technician’s help.”
The Snap-on Wireless Battery System Tester (EECS400) includes a hand-held receiver, battery module with leads, USB adapter for PC printing, Microsoft PC data template CD, brass post adaptors and a carrying case. Some of the features and benefits of the EECS400 include:
Tester will display battery or battery pack condition as percentage of available capacity, rated capacity (i.e. CCA’s), and state of charge voltage as good, marginal or replace status
Wireless micro LCD features both a radio and an IR wireless printer output for remote printout of the test results
Test results can be sent to either a Microsoft PC (sold separately) via USB adapter (included), or a stand alone IR Printer (optional HHGA-5 or 2-22566)
Test data for the last test performed is stored in the memory and can be reviewed either when connected to a battery or when disconnected from the battery at a later time
Applications: Tests batteries from 100 CCA to 3500 CCA (battery pack); 6/12/24/36V starting/charging systems; both series and parallel batteries; parasitic drain; alternator ripple; 6V & 12V batteries
