     Had truck at dealer, their test said my battery is rated at 750 cca and tested to 650.  My al539b says my battery CCA is 900.


    This makes no sense, can techs look into this.

     I don't know about this al539b in particular but usually battery testers ask you to input the rated cca into the tool before the test begins. its very important to enter the exact cca stamped on the battery to get the correct readings since the load test will be 50% of the actual cca you imputed . I don't know any battery tester that reads that information off the battery directly but I could be wrong.

     Yes, unfortunately with this device, you either enter in 740 or 760 for my 750 battery.  They don't give you an "exact" way to input your exact value, wont take it.  Poor design!

    My guess is that folks should stay away from this brand, Autel, too many issues and when you catch them and it takes them way to long to address your problem.

     I'm having the same problem.  My KIA battery is 660 CCA, but the Autel measures it at 992CCA.  I don't recall this issue before the update that covered the language issue.

         Hey, Maybe something just got lost in the Chinese translation of the numerals like Taijitu where the nine is the ying and the six is the yang, you just eat your honey if you expect some PuTang and all becomes well and balanced in the world again  for awhile.

     Pretty sad that we cannot get these expensive units working, but hopefully others will read about our issues and heed the warning!
