Bosch BAT 115 Battery Tester (0687000115)

Description

Genuine Bosch · Part no. 0687000115

The Bosch BAT 115 (0687000115). It covers cars, light commercials, motorcycles and boats, and its built-in printer gives the customer a slip showing battery health and charge as percentages.

Good to know

• Which rating do I enter? The cold cranking amps (CCA) and the standard printed on the battery label. It tests to EN, EN2, DIN, SAE, IEC, JIS and MCA, so choose the one that matches the label, or the result will be off.
• Can it test lorry batteries? Yes, one at a time: a 24V lorry usually has two 12V batteries linked in series, so test each 12V battery on its own, then run the 24V starting and charging test on the vehicle.
• Which batteries are outside its range? Its list is lead-acid, EFB, gel and AGM (flat and spiral). Lithium batteries are not on it, so don't judge one with this tester.
• Why charge before condemning a battery? A flat battery can read as failed when it only needs charging. Charge it, let it settle, then test again before replacing it.

Which one?
