The TopDiag BT400 is a multifunction battery tester for 12V and 24V systems that combines four functions: the battery test with starting and charging test, battery replacement with memory retention, leakage current measurement and a voltage test on the OBD2 pins. It operates within a voltage range of 8 to 30 V and measures up to 2000 CCA.

With leakage current measurement from 15 mA to 5 A, you record consumption for up to 30 minutes as a waveform. This shows when a consumer switches on while you pull fuses. When replacing the battery, you maintain the on-board voltage via the OBD2 connector and a second battery, so settings and codes are retained.

PROS

✔Four functions in one — Battery test, memory retention, leakage current and OBD2 voltage test.
✔Leakage current with waveform — 15 mA to 5 A, recorded for up to 30 minutes.
✔12 and 24 V — Suitable for passenger cars and trucks.
✔Storage case — Tester, clamps and cables neatly together.

POINTS TO NOTE

✕Second battery required — For memory retention, connect a fully charged auxiliary battery.
✕Leakage current up to 5 A — A higher current falls outside the measuring range.
✕No printer — Read the result on the screen.
✕Lead-acid batteries only — Suitable for flooded, AGM and GEL; lithium is not mentioned.

Applications and functionality

The BT400 combines four functions for work on the electrical system of 12V and 24V vehicles.

Battery, starting and charging test

  • Battery test: Assesses the condition and cold cranking capacity of the battery.
  • Starting test: The voltage while the starter motor is cranking.
  • Charging test: The charging voltage of the alternator.

Leakage current measurement

  • Measuring range: 15 mA to 5 A.
  • Recording: Current and progression recorded as a waveform for up to 30 minutes.

Battery replacement with memory retention

  • Via OBD2: An auxiliary battery powers the on-board system via the OBD2 connector while the battery is removed.

OBD2 voltage test

  • Voltage per pin: Check the voltage on the pins of the OBD2 connector before reading out.

How to use it

  1. Select function: Choose battery test, leakage current, memory retention or OBD2 test.
  2. Connecting: For the battery test, clamp to the battery; for memory retention, the auxiliary battery and the OBD2 plug.
  3. Measuring: Follow the steps on the screen; for leakage current, pull fuses while following the waveform.
  4. Reading the result: Read the measured values and the assessment on the screen.

Special functions and features

The BT400 replaces several separate measuring tools in the workshop.

  • Leakage current waveform: You see when consumption changes, not just how much it is.
  • Memory retention: Radio codes, seat positions and clock settings are retained when changing the battery.
  • OBD2 pin voltage: Check the power supply to the diagnostic connector.
  • Wide working range: 8 to 30 V, for 12V and 24V systems.
  • Multilingual display: Operation via an LCD screen in multiple languages.

💡
Good to know: When carrying out a parasitic draw test, let the car go to sleep first. Many control units remain active for some time after switching off; if you measure too early, you will see a current draw that will no longer be there later.
