    More videos like this please. You have a great way of explaining in great detail how to break down these waveforms. Thank you for sharing.

    This is called back EMF due to inductions inside the Generator once you turn the key and the load start to draw current the Induction inside the generator to maintain the current flow with try to invert the voltage. Once the inductors are charged there is no fluctuations on the output anymore. Still the ripple are hard to eliminate to 100%.

    Great Video, Content quality is top notch. I work on Agricultural Machinery and heavy plant, Do you think the Pico 2204A with the Pico 200/2000 amp clamp will allow me to perform this test effectively or an I better to invest in a higher quality Pico Scope???

    • @JustinMillerAutomotive

      If you plan to do this more than once or twice, I would definitely recommend a higher quality Pico. It will pay for itself over and over! You can check out options on CatchaWave.com. Please call or message through the website if you have questions! Good luck with the diagnostics!

    Loves these video Justin. Question how did you measure almost 1k Amps with a 600a clamp? I didn’t realize it could do that. I added this to my pico favorites on YT nice job brother

    • @JustinMillerAutomotive
      @JustinMillerAutomotive  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have a video explaining how to do that: th-cam.com/video/tZXZ1h_mEnw/w-d-xo.html. I hope it helps!

    How do I measure the RPM of the starter using the current draw wave form ? you mention the minimum is no less the 200. I put the rulers between 4 humps or spikes and it says less than 200 but the car starts

    • @JustinMillerAutomotive
      @JustinMillerAutomotive  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hello Otilio!
      You can't measure starter RPM, but you can measure engine cranking RPM.
      Remember that one revolution of the crankshaft will result in half as many compression strokes as the number of cylinders. For example, on a four-cylinder engine, there will be two compression strokes in one revolution. If the engine starts before you get enough compression humps, you can just measure the time between two "humps," then multiply it.
      You are right cranking RPM should be between 200-300.

    That’s fantastic. What kind of voltage and current probe and software did you use?
    Where can I buy everything that you used in this test?

    • @JustinMillerAutomotive

      I have never used an autoscope, so I can't answer that question. Sorry!

    I love this test and use it on every car that needs the electrical system tested. So many details that no battery tester can prove.

  • @splat7147
    @splat7147 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just did this test with a Pico 2204a and Hantek 650 amp clamp and find that within 5 minutes of the alternator running, the average amperage going into the battery is about -8/-9 amps. The other battery parameters seem good with 9 volt max. pulldown under load, and 12.6 open circuit voltage. You mention at 6:40 that the charge level must be within -5 amps, but I cannot find this specification anywhere else. Would you mind sharing where you found the -5 amp requirement, and do you think its possible that my 2 month old Interstate battery is already starting to fail?

    It is amazing what can be seen from a quick wave form capture if you have a trained eye. To the layman it looks like chicken scratch but to an expert a wealth of information can be gleamed.

    Justin, this has gotta be one of the best thorough explanations of pico tests i have come across but only my opinion. I love using the pico for this stuff but this just kinda put its over the top for me as far as knowledge and pico know how and what can be seen. Great video!!

  • @thomassimajaya2020
    @thomassimajaya2020 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Those voltage ripple, is it possible to smoothing it with capacitor? how many F will significantly reduce it? there's so many device marked as "voltage stabilizer" and it's seems like BS, and most the user review sound like placebo

    • @blackz06
      @blackz06 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The battery acts like a cap. The ripple is already heavily reduced down to just a few hundred mV. Versus the several volts when running open circuit.

    Great video Man, keep up the great work ! You had a 600 amp current clamp, but 1000amp spike ?

    • @JustinMillerAutomotive
      @JustinMillerAutomotive  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Because the starter current on many cars will spike over 600 amps, I created a custom probe, using the same current clamp, but setting the range at 1000 amps. The clamp doesn't have guaranteed accuracy above 600 amps, but I would still rather be off by a couple of amps than have my waveform clipped at 600 amps. On Pico, this is really easy. I just duplicated the 600 amp current probe, then edited the lookup table in the duplicated probe and renamed the probe.
