The LAUNCH BST-360 is a compact Bluetooth battery tester designed for fast and reliable testing of 12V vehicle batteries. It connects wirelessly to the free BST360 mobile app or a compatible LAUNCH diagnostic tablet, allowing technicians and vehicle owners to check battery condition, starting performance and charging-system operation directly from their smartphone or diagnostic device.
With clear test results and easy-to-understand evaluations, the BST-360 makes professional battery diagnostics accessible without requiring extensive technical knowledge.
Analyse the overall condition of the vehicle battery and measure important parameters including:
Cold cranking amps (CCA)
Battery voltage
Internal resistance
State of health
State of charge
Battery ageing condition
The tester helps determine whether the battery is still serviceable or should be replaced.
Evaluate the performance of the vehicle’s starting system by measuring:
Cranking voltage
Cranking time
Required starting current
Starter performance
This makes it easier to identify weak batteries or potential starter-system problems.
Check whether the alternator and charging system are operating correctly, including:
Charging voltage
Alternator output
Rectifier performance
Diode ripple
Charging stability
The results help identify undercharging, overcharging and alternator-related faults.
The BST-360 has no built-in display. Test results are transmitted wirelessly via Bluetooth to:
The free BST360 app for Android and iOS
Selected compatible LAUNCH X-431 diagnostic tablets
Selected compatible LAUNCH CRP-series diagnostic devices
This wireless design provides greater flexibility in workshops and allows test reports to be viewed, saved and shared directly from the connected device.
The LAUNCH BST-360 is designed for safe everyday use and includes:
Reverse-polarity protection
Spark-free connection
Low-heat operation
Protection against incorrect clamp connection
Testing support for partially discharged batteries
Incorrectly connecting the clamps will not damage the tester, vehicle or battery.
The BST-360 supports commonly used 12V lead-acid battery technologies, including:
Standard flooded lead-acid batteries
AGM batteries
GEL batteries
It also supports major international battery standards, including:
CCA
BCI
CA
MCA
JIS
DIN
IEC
EN
SAE
GB
It is suitable for cars and other vehicles equipped with supported 12V batteries.
Thanks to its compact size and lightweight design, the BST-360 can be stored easily in a toolbox, workshop trolley or vehicle. Its simple clamp connection and app-based operation make it suitable for both professional workshops and private vehicle owners.
