Does the BA5 100-1200 tester also test for CA as well as CCA

I Believe CA and CCA are equivalent. The BA5 tester I purchased performs well, I borrowed a friend's very expensive professional battery tester and the BA5 returned almost identical results on several batteries.

Ought to do just fine. 30CCA is within rounding error on 1000CCA and the scale is just painted on the face, the needle is free to go beyond 1000. I've had a couple of tests where I exceeded 1000 with no ill effects. That said, I wouldn't try it on a 1500 CCA battery

I watched a dozen YouTube videos .. then managed to test my car battery .. It works quite well .. but I just don't know how to convert AH to CA

Yes, the tester has separate terminals for lithium AA and lithium AAA cells. The Energizer Ultimate Lithiums can be expected to have somewhat longer useful life than "ordinary" lithium cells, but the tester will accurately show their condition. This is simply the best tester out there, and if you're like me, you'll quickly realize what a good investment it is.

I don't think so however I am not an expert and only test for basic items. I would as the tech support at LaMotte.

Here's another OEMs description of tests done on batteries: CCA (Cold cranking amps) = The discharge load measured in amps that a new fully charged battery can deliver at 0 degrees F for 30 seconds and maintain a terminal voltage greater than 7.2 VDC. CAA (Crank assist amps) = The discharge load measured in amps that a new fully charged battery can deliver at 70 degrees F for 5 seconds and maintain a terminal voltage greater than 7.2 VDC. Most of these battery packs are labeled using the CAA test with numbers like "450 cranking amps" on a unit I have (and mine has a 18 amp-hour battery just like this). Yet if you want to compare it to a car battery that is labeled by CCA, you can divide that number by 6 to account for the time differences in the tests, but I'm not sure how to account for temp differences.

I havent used CA-1170 but I copied your question into google and got this- http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=648294

It is not a load tester. It does not place a load on the battery. It measures the reluctance of the battery and calculates the CCA.

Yes we can. The tester splits into two parts. The parts are connected , one to each end with the main part with display at the end where you want to see the result.

yes, you can test capacitors. I have tested 24v AC and I have also used the meter to test for DC voltage. I like the meter so far. It also reads temperatures.

The CARB (California Air Resources Board) has not certified these kits for California usage. Most of these kits come from China and the manufacturers are not interested in going through the certification process.

No, not on the current model. According to this review, some PREVIOUS model of the tester was capable of testing those, but I'm not sure if that model is currently available anywhere. http://www.amazon.com/review/R18HSQF758SB8N/ref=cm_srch_res_rtr_alt_1

I would think that the slight overage would be OK - only 3% . The resistor pack is only used for up to 10 seconds. (And it does get warm in that time.) Unless your battery is very newly manufactured, the actual CCA will be less than the claimed rating anyway. This is not really a precision instrument, but a device to let you know the general health (lack of sulfation, etc.) of a battery. It would be quite useful if you tested the battery every 6 months, for example, and kept a record of the reading. This will give a clear indication of when the battery is near the end of life.

It is very easy to use, you conect to the battery and you have to confirm what parameter are you using to measure, I normally use SAE, you introduce the CCA using the arrows and press test, if the battery has a bad cell, it is instantly indicated on the screen, the tester will display pass if tuve battery is ok, otherwise fail is displayed. If the battery is discharged at the moment you conect it, it will display ch.

I am not sure if it has CAS, but I know I have used this calculator for finance classes - in fact it was a finance prof who recommended the BA II to the class along with the HP finance calculator. It just depends on whose logic you like - Texas Instruments or HP's. I think the TI logic is more intuitive.

Yes, it test caps that's one of the reasons I bought it. You can also add other test heads to measure current, pressure, air flow ..........

Yes this tester can apply a load for testing and evaluating the condition of Sealed Lead Acid batteries
