What’s up guys today we are going to be looking at the TOPDON bt100 Battery tester and yes I will be doing more videos on his features but today we were just focusing on testing batteries, but here is the kicker I’m going to be putting this tester up against the The snap on battery analyzer and hopes to give a broader spectrum of how this TOPDON tester operates and it’s features - Auta a dopravní prostředky

Why can't I get anything free, lol
So the old load tester use to have carbon piles to add a load to the battery how do these add a load?
Electronically
I like the video. One thing though, the resistance is measured in milliOhms not MegaOhms. Mega is a denoted with a capital M and milli is denoted with a lowercase m. With any battery the lower the internal resistance the more Amperage the battery can put out. A low internal resistance doesn’t mean the battery is internally shorted because the cathode terminal is not connected to the anode terminal.
Too funny. I investigated many battery analyzers this last summer and decided on the bt100. I have been very pleased with it. I like it’s ability to determine if your alternator or your battery is the issue.
Hey, Jeremy! Based on this video I purchased the Topdon tester at that time. Tried to read the manual but it was difficult to understand.
Yesterday I finally got it out to test the battery on a lawn tractor and just started hitting buttons. It took me no time at all - really easy to use and a good size and weight. Readout super easy to see. Worked great and I’m very happy with this tool. It’s a relief to send out a machine in which I have confidence that the battery is healthy! I wish more tools were this good and at a price I can actually afford. Thanks, dude! 👍🔧
I have a Battery tester from TopDon that is a few years old and it works good for me. I have been very happy with it and never had an issue.
Great product comparison. Snap is good but overpriced for the DIY. Paying for the name doesn't mean it is a better piece of equipment. Thank you for this video!!!!
Thanks Jeremy, nice video, glad you tested the one I bought ( Top Don )
Thanks for the info!
I bring a TOPDON every time I camp, and use it often to be sure I don't drain the battery too low. It's small and packable, easy to use and reliable.
Will pick one up for sure, iv been using one of those metal box type testers from harbor freight but those only show so much and the more you do the draw test the less accurate they are do to resistance
Nice review. I keep dipping my fingers into the cordless/electric equipment simply because the market is getting bigger not a lot of shops are willing to touch them and I love stress and headaches. right now have a Ryobi lawn tractor a $3000 tractor that loses power and my first thought is to separate all the batteries record all the values then fully charge as intended separate them again and record values and see if we've got any out to lunch I think Ill be buying this tool right now.
Great comparison. It's amazing how good these cheap battery analyzers are. Sure it doesn't talk to ya like the snap on but it's a great cheap meter to have in the car.
Ordered one off this video and got a Black Monday discount. 👍
I have the Topdon BT200 and I like it!
Snap on is nice, but to expensive
Have the exact same one and love it!
Very cool. Cool thanks for sharing.
I love my Topdon tester!
I have one and the state of health parameter is invaluable in determing the
Remaining life a battery.it is a good tool and affordable !
very cool, will add this to my toolbox
I bought an autel al539b tester and I love it. Not only does it test batteries,starting and charging systems, but it’s a multimeter, and a obd code scanner.
Nice to only pack one meter that can do multiple functions.
Tim over at astral auto repairs turned me onto it. 👍
I would never get anything he suggested, purely because he’s such a joker and idiot. He’s all about himself and his instructional videos are all but useless.
@@Rein_Ciarfella your comment reminds me of a quote from mark twain about opening your mouth.
The high resistance (36.59, should be around 4-8 m-ohms) is a good indication high sulfation. Top off fluids, run a charger with pulse tech, check it again in about three weeks, I bet it recovers!
Great vid I know which tester Ill be buying.Thank you
BTW , resistance of the battery was milli ohms not Mega ohms .
8:40 Only 4 *mili* Ohms of resistance ( Mega is letter with big M ) :)
milli as in Milli Vanilla but lower case 🙃
Bought it to test my camper deep cycle battery
nice Review and perfect video , just a small thing, its milli ohms not Mega ohms ! 4 Megaohms would be extremely high and there would be zero current going. oeps same comment as below sorry. The lower the internal resistance the better the battery's health is.
I just got the topdon bt200 for 47$ brand new it’s the next step up from this but hope it’s just as good
Funny, I just bought that one from Amazon,
whats a good and bad internal resistance on a car battery
Jeremy good video. But at the risk of being classified as a keyboard cowboy, I believed you miss spoke when calling out the internal resistance, you said megaohms which would be real high resistance. One megaohm is egual to a milliom ohms. The instrument measues in milliohms. One milliohm is one-thousandth of an ohm.
I own one. Great Automotive toy...
Recommendation yeppers
Topdon is also aplicable for lithium ion battery
pretty neat
Very interesting, thanks for this review. Once it was fully charged it said 77% I'm just wondering what you think about that. Thanks
I stated in the video that I only charged it for two hours
@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 Sorry I missed that, I ordered it.
I wish I had one I have lots of battery’s to test and I work on mower and stuff all the time by the way what if u don’t no the information about the battery
Can you please test it against a Volt meter in the same frame and see if it matches the algorithms of the tester?
Volt meter built into the testers
👍
Hi again. Snap on is asking you in/out vehicle; it is asking you top/side post. Topdon just goes straight into the test. Previous version of Topdon did ask the same questions as Snap on.
Yet the results are nearly identical. So, what's the point of in/out vehicle and top/side post. It seems answering such questions lead to nothing. It makes no difference. It is very very strange.
It makes tons of difference such as parasitic draw and other factors that will pull amperage on a battery when installed in the vehicle
I cant believe what some people pay for strap on tools
That's miliohms, not megaohms. I don't know what you could do with 4 megaohms of internal resistance but certainly not start an engine!
is IR a.mega ohms or mili ohms?
It's in mili Ohms. 🤓 Good battery has 0.01 to 5.00 mOhms internal resistance.
Thanks. But what's the point of paying a lot more money then?
🤷
Some people just want the name and the good ass warranty I suppose
Just a few comments Topdon is pronounced Top Don and it’s not Mega ohms it’s mili ohms
potato potatoe. why did you feel the need to tell me this?
@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 The reason why a car battery's resistance is measured in mili-ohms or one millionth of an ohm if it was 3.5 mega ohms that would mean the resistance would be 3 million times larger that 1 ohm, meaning that battery could not conduct any electricity. I brought it up to give you feed back so you can sound like you know what you are talking about. Which in the video hearing this could make some one think you are not educated. Which I highly do not think I think you know what you are doing and I want you to be great.
It is mili ohm and not mega ohm
Just stick with a tried and true analogue / manual Chicago Electric battery tester for $20. There is way too much electronic garbage on the market these days.
No way.
The Snapon is better it talks to you lol 😂
Wow. With those flashing lights and unnecessary voice that Snap tester looks and sounds like a kid's toy. Is it supposed to impress customers?
