Marked measurement category

Not recorded

The record has no confirmed CAT category and voltage pair. A marking in a photograph cannot fill that gap.

The buying trap. Confirm the exact model’s manual before considering it for mains measurements.

These are different products. Check their specifications separately.

  • MaxiBAS BT508 Model: BT508

    Higher-tier Bluetooth tester; Autel lists it separately in the same battery-service line.

    Shops wanting the BT508's extra coverage.

Purchase links appear where the exact offer is verified. Confirm the named model, quantity and accessories before ordering.

Watch out

  • The BT506 has no screen of its own; results appear in the free Autel phone app or on a compatible MaxiSYS tablet.
  • A listing with a MaxiSYS tablet is a bundle; the BT506 itself is just the tester with its clamp cable.

Why people pick it

  • Tests the full battery, starter and charging system, not just voltage, per Autel's spec
  • Covers 6- and 12-volt batteries from 100 to 2000 CCA across Flooded, AGM, AGM Spiral, EFB and GEL chemistries
  • Pairs over Bluetooth with a free phone app or a compatible Autel MaxiSYS tablet, so results and color-coded reports live on a screen you already own
  • Powered from the battery under test; no internal battery to charge

Know before you buy

  • No screen of its own: it needs a phone, tablet or compatible MaxiSYS tablet to show results
  • Its voltage range is 6 to 36 V, aimed at vehicle batteries and 12/24-volt cranking and charging systems, not general electrical work
  • Autel sells the BT506 through authorized tool dealers rather than a direct buy link, so availability varies by dealer
  • Full battery registration and reset workflow requires a compatible MaxiSYS tablet
