Midtronics PBT-200 Advanced Battery and Electrical System Tester, 12 Volt, 200 to 850 CCA, Conductance, Cranking and Charging Diagnostics
- Midtronics PBT-200 is a 12 volt automotive battery and electrical system tester using conductance technology. It measures 200 to 850 CCA, tests even when discharged, and captures cranking and charging voltages for diagnosis. This standalone tester is not a replacement part for another SKU.
- Features:
- 200 to 850 CCA measurement range supports common passenger vehicle starting batteries and delivers fast, repeatable decisions.
- Conductance testing reads available power and displays CCA after each test while avoiding heat or sparks during evaluation.
- High and low voltage capture records minimum cranking and highest average charging voltage to assess starter and alternator performance.
- Bad cell detection and clear LED indicators simplify replace versus recharge decisions to reduce comebacks.
- Standalone diagnostic tool for in-vehicle or out-of-vehicle testing; not a replacement part for a specific product.

- The PBT-200 Advanced Battery and Electrical System Tester can also be referred to as battery conductance tester, 12 volt battery tester, CCA battery tester, starter and alternator tester, and automotive battery analyzer.
Midtronics develops professional battery diagnostics based on conductance technology for service centers and retailers, providing fast, accurate testing of batteries and vehicle electrical systems in-vehicle or on the bench.
Q: What batteries and ratings does the PBT-200 support?
A: It tests 12 volt automotive starting batteries rated in CCA, SAE, DIN, IEC, and EN; JIS applications are supported via the on-tester conversion table.
Q: Can it test a discharged battery and show available CCA?
A: Yes. The conductance method allows testing even when discharged and the display alternates between battery voltage and available CCA after each test.
Q: Does it help diagnose starting and charging issues?
A: Yes. It captures minimum cranking voltage during start and the highest average charging voltage with the engine running to evaluate starter and alternator performance.
