tecMate 150-9 BatteryMate / Tester

The TecMate 150-9 BatteryMate/Tester helps you test, commission, charge, and recover 12V lead-acid starter batteries, including MF and AGM types used across a range of vehicles. You use it to apply controlled load tests, run a constant-current charge cycle, monitor charging progress, and activate automatic desulphation routines supported by temperature compensation, selectable charge rates, and an MF-specific commissioning programme.Here are the key features of this unit:Six Load Test Settings (15A 150A): This feature uses stepped load options to match batteries from 2.5Ah to 45Ah, allowing you to run either a 3-second diagnostic test or a more demanding 15-second assessment while a dynamic LED voltmeter shows real-time voltage drop and estimated recharge time, helping you understand how the battery behaves under stress and giving you reliable insight into its underlying condition.MF Commissioning Charge Programme: This uses a pushbutton-activated routine designed for dry-charged and sealed AGM maintenance-free batteries, applying a constant-current bulk charge that automatically ends at the correct voltage for each MF type, helping you prevent early deterioration caused by incorrect first charging and giving you a precise method for safe commissioning that supports long service life.Constant Current Charger (1A 9A) with Three-Step Charging: This provides six selectable current settings and a controlled three-stage sequence bulk, absorption, and float while automatically adjusting voltage for ambient temperature changes, helping you deliver the correct charge rate for each battery and ensuring the battery reaches cranking capability efficiently and maintains a full, stable charge once completed.Automatic Deep-Discharge Recovery Programme: This identifies sulphated batteries and initiates a targeted recovery routine using a higher controlled voltage, helping you return neglected or deeply discharged units to a chargeable condition, which supports better resource use and reduces unnecessary battery replacement.Integrated Thermal Protection and Auto-Reset Fuse: This uses a thermal sensor and an automatic reset mechanism to safeguard the tool when internal temperatures rise, helping you avoid heat-related interruptions and allowing you to keep the BatteryMate operating safely during repeated test-and-charge cycles.Automatic Retest Function: This activates after a charge cycle when needed, using the selected load test settings to verify the battery s condition immediately, helping you confirm whether further charging is required and supporting a more efficient workflow.LED Display with OptiMate-Type Readout: This shows charging current, elapsed charge time, and programme progress while giving you a clear indication of battery condition throughout the process, helping you track each stage easily and maintain clarity during busy workshop tasks.Temperature Compensation Across All Modes: This adjusts charging voltage according to ambient temperature, helping you maintain consistent results in varying workshop environments and supporting safer operation when handling sensitive AGM and MF batteries.You use the TecMate 150-9 BatteryMate/Tester to run detailed load assessments, commission MF batteries accurately, manage controlled charging, and attempt recovery of sulphated units whenever possible. Its automated processes help you streamline routine battery work, saving time during busy diagnostic or servicing schedules. This tool is a practical addition to your electrical setup, giving you dependable functionality for everyday battery management and improving the consistency of your workshop results.
