Autel MaxiBAS BT608 Battery & Electrical System Tester | US Version
The Autel MaxiBAS BT608 is a professional battery and electrical system diagnostic tool designed for battery testing, starting and charging system analysis, battery registration, and supported vehicle diagnostics. Using Autel Adaptive Conductance technology, the BT608 provides an advanced method for evaluating battery health and supporting accurate service decisions.
The BT608 supports in-vehicle and out-of-vehicle testing of 6V and 12V batteries rated from 100 to 3000 CCA, including Flooded, AGM, AGM Spiral, EFB, and GEL battery types. It also performs 12V and 24V starting and charging system tests to help technicians identify battery, starter, and charging-system problems.
With the included MaxiVCI V200, technicians can communicate wirelessly with compatible vehicles for battery registration, BMS reset, and supported diagnostic and service functions. The built-in thermal printer allows battery and electrical system test results to be printed directly for customer records and service documentation.

Autel MaxiBAS BT608 Professional Battery & Electrical System Tester
The Autel MaxiBAS BT608 is a professional automotive battery tester designed to help technicians evaluate battery condition, diagnose starting and charging system problems, and perform supported battery service functions.
Powered by Autel's Adaptive Conductance technology, the BT608 supports 6V and 12V battery testing from 100 to 3000 CCA, along with 12V and 24V starting and charging system analysis.
With its built-in thermal printer and included MaxiVCI V200 wireless communication interface, the BT608 combines battery analysis, vehicle communication, and service reporting in one portable battery service platform.
Advanced Battery Testing
Evaluate battery condition using Adaptive Conductance technology and supported battery testing procedures.
Electrical System Analysis
Analyze 12V and 24V starting and charging systems to support electrical fault diagnosis.
Battery Service Functions
Perform supported battery registration and BMS reset procedures on compatible vehicles.
Test 6V & 12V Batteries from 100–3000 CCA
The Autel MaxiBAS BT608 uses Adaptive Conductance technology to evaluate battery condition and help technicians assess a battery's ability to perform under load.
The BT608 supports both in-vehicle and out-of-vehicle battery testing for 6V and 12V batteries rated from 100 to 3000 CCA.
Test 12V & 24V Starting and Charging Systems
Beyond battery testing, the Autel MaxiBAS BT608 can analyze 12V and 24V starting and charging systems to help technicians evaluate the electrical systems responsible for starting the vehicle and maintaining battery charge.
These tests extend the diagnostic process beyond the battery itself, helping technicians investigate whether a starting or charging system issue may be contributing to a vehicle's electrical problem.
Starting System Test
Evaluate the vehicle's starting system as part of the battery and electrical system diagnostic process.
Charging System Test
Analyze charging-system operation to support diagnosis of battery and vehicle electrical concerns.
Battery Registration & BMS Reset
The Autel MaxiBAS BT608 extends beyond battery testing by supporting battery service functions on compatible vehicles. After battery replacement, technicians can use the BT608 to perform supported procedures required by the vehicle's battery management system.
Using vehicle communication through the included MaxiVCI V200, the BT608 can access supported battery management functions without requiring a separate battery service tool.
Battery Registration
Register a replacement battery on supported vehicles when battery registration is required by the vehicle's battery management system.
BMS Reset
Perform supported BMS reset procedures after battery replacement or battery service on compatible vehicles.
Vehicle Coverage: Battery registration, BMS reset, and other available service functions vary by vehicle. Confirm year, make, model, engine, and required function before ordering when specific coverage is required.
MaxiVCI V200 Included with the Autel BT608
The Autel MaxiBAS BT608 includes the MaxiVCI V200, providing wireless communication between the BT608 tablet and compatible vehicles.
Vehicle communication allows the BT608 to extend beyond standalone battery testing and access supported diagnostic and battery service functions through the vehicle's onboard systems.
Wireless Communication
Connect the BT608 to compatible vehicles through the included MaxiVCI V200 without a communication cable between the tablet and vehicle.
Battery Service Access
Use vehicle communication for supported battery registration, BMS reset, and related battery service procedures.
Vehicle Diagnostics
Access supported vehicle diagnostic functions that complement battery and electrical system service.
Important: Diagnostic and service-function availability varies by vehicle. The BT608 is primarily a battery and electrical system service tool and should not be treated as a replacement for a dedicated MaxiSYS full-system diagnostic scanner.
Print Battery & Electrical System Test Results
The Autel MaxiBAS BT608 features a built-in thermal printer, allowing technicians to print supported battery and electrical system test results directly from the tool.
Printed results can provide customers with a physical record of testing and help service professionals document battery and electrical system checks as part of the service process.
Test
Perform the supported battery or electrical system test.
Review
Review the available test results directly on the BT608.
Print supported test results using the built-in thermal printer.
Document
Provide a physical test record for customer or service documentation.
