It evaluates state of health (SOH), state of charge (SOC), CCA, internal resistance, starting voltage and alternator output, delivering near‑instant results on a bright 2.8\" color screen. The unit supports a wide range of battery chemistries and international sizing standards, and VEHLIVE provides a free firmware upgrade to enable lithium detection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the BT911 determine whether a battery needs replacing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BT911 runs a load‑style analysis and computes SOH and SOC using voltage, internal resistance and CCA comparisons against expected values.
