Product Description
Features and Benefits: - Utilizes cost effective conductance test technology for accurate testing at a value price point
- Quick 1-second initial results
- Tests charging and starting systems 50-2000 CCA range accurate to 5 CCAs; tests 6V and 12V batteries
- Temperature and low charge compensation
- Detects and identifies loose leads; supports CCA, IEC, EN, BCI, and DIN scales
Made for the professional technician, the OTC3184 tests batteries and starting/charging systems faster than ever before. The BCS System Analyzer has an operating range of 50-2000 CCA’s and is able to store data in memory or remotely print out the results using an infrared printer interface. It also measures voltage and tests starting and charging systems at the push of a button. 4 line, 20 character LCD display shows CCA’s, voltage, and good/bad status. Displays results in 7 languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, Swedish. Built-in infrared printer interface for remote printing (printer not included). Detachable cable leads. Includes BCS system analyzer, a 12' extension cable for in-cab testing, two voltmeter probes, battery side and threaded-post adapters, detachable leads, 9-volt battery and soft-sided carrying case.

Good, but not perfect. March 25, 2009
Jose J. Gonzalez (Torrance, CA)
Measures CCA, but not very good at determining if battery is chargeable or sulfated. Still it's much better than using a voltmeter to inspect batteries and it's relatively inexpensive.

Since not much can be found online about this product I hope to shed some light on this tester.
The OTC 3184 is a conductance battery tester and not a load tester. This technology now seems to be the preferred method of testing the condition of automotive batteries.
Testing a battery on the bench is done by simply selecting the battery rating with the tester and then allowing the tester to run its cycle. The tester will display the batteries voltage, if it is good or bad, and capacity in CCA, a very nice feature.
Charging and starting tests are very simple. The starting test records the lowest voltage from the battery while cranking the engine. The charging tests measure alternator output while at idle, 2000 rpm and 1000 rpm with varying loads turned on or off (headlights, heater, etc). There is also a test for alternator ripple voltage, this is the test that can really save you a lot of headache.
Test results are very repeatable and seem in line with load testing results.
I think the menu system could be a little better, but that's my only complaint.
Overall, a very nice tester to have in your toolbox.
