TIROL T16897 12V LED Battery & Alternator Tester
The TIROL T16897 12V Battery and Alternator Tester is a simple and convenient diagnostic tool designed for quick testing of automotive 12V electrical systems.
Using a series of easy-to-read LED indicators, the tester allows you to quickly assess the general condition of the vehicle battery and determine whether the alternator or charging system is operating within a normal voltage range.
It is ideal for workshops, home mechanics, roadside tool kits and general vehicle maintenance.
Battery Testing
With the engine switched off, the tester can be connected directly to the battery terminals to provide a quick indication of battery charge condition.
The LED display assists with identifying whether the battery is:
- Low or discharged
- Partially charged
- In a normal charged condition
This makes the T16897 useful for identifying batteries that may require charging before further diagnosis.
Alternator & Charging-System Testing
With the engine running, the tester can also be used to assess alternator charging-system performance.
The LED indicators provide a simple visual indication of whether the charging voltage is:
- Too low
- Within the normal charging range
- Excessively high
Low charging voltage may indicate problems such as an alternator, regulator, wiring or drive-belt fault.
Excessive charging voltage may indicate a charging-system or voltage-regulator fault.
Easy to Use
Simply connect the supplied battery clamps to the correct positive and negative battery terminals.
No external power supply or complicated setup is required.
The LED display provides an immediate visual indication of battery and charging-system condition.

Important Information
This product is designed as a basic battery-voltage and charging-system indicator.
It is not a professional battery conductance, internal resistance or CCA tester and does not perform a controlled battery load test.
For batteries suspected of having reduced capacity or poor cranking performance, additional testing with a dedicated battery analyser or load tester is recommended.
