Video Demonstration: AUTOOL EM385 Features
Vidjo 5.1: Fuqview of AUTOOL EM385 functions, including power on, screen display, programming mode, fast charging, adjustable power, battery restoration, vehicle display, and forced start.
This video provides a visual guide to the main features and operational steps of the AUTOOL EM385, demonstrating how to switch between modes and utilize its core functionalities.
5.1. Programming Power Mode
This mode is specifically designed to provide a stable voltage under varying loads during major vehicle ECU reprogramming and diagnostic work. It supplies current up to 150A with a voltage range of 9-16V, ensuring stable data transmission.

Figure 5.1.1: Programming Power Mode Interface
In Programming Power Mode, you can precisely set the output voltage within the 9-16V range to meet the specific requirements of vehicle ECU programming, ensuring a consistent power supply.
5.2. Fast Charging Mode
The Fast Charging mode supports both lead-acid and lithium batteries with a multi-stage intelligent charging process. It uses pulse charging initially, switches to high-power charging, and then to trickle charging to prevent overcharging.
- Lead-acid battery charging: 40A/12V
- Lithium battery charging: 20A/12V

Figure 5.2.1: Fast Charging Mode Interface
The device automatically adjusts charging power for optimal efficiency, stopping when the battery is full to prevent overcharging.

Figura 5.2.2: Tipi ta' Batteriji Kompatibbli
The EM385 supports a wide range of rechargeable batteries, including standard lead-acid, AGM flat, AGM spiral, EFB, GEL, LFP, and NCM lithium batteries.
5.3. Adjustable Power Mode
This mode allows for adjustable voltage and current output, making the EM385 suitable for powering various external devices or for specific testing scenarios.
- Voltage 3-8.9V, current adjustable 1-20A.
- Voltage 9-16V, current adjustable 1-100A.

Figure 5.3.1: Adjustable Power Output Settings
The flexible output settings allow the EM385 to power a variety of automotive components or test equipment.
5.4. Battery Restoration Mode
This battery maintainer mode can repair batteries that have been discharged for a long time or have suffered severe power loss, aiming to restore them to a usable condition.

Figure 5.4.1: Battery Restoration Process
The battery restoration function helps to recover batteries that are in an insufficient voltage state, extending their lifespan.
5.5. Vehicle Display Mode
The display mode outputs an uninterruptible power supply and restarts automatically in case of power failure. This provides stable power support during vehicle display in showrooms and during battery replacement procedures.

Figure 5.5.1: Vehicle Display Mode in Use
This mode ensures continuous power to the vehicle's electrical systems, ideal for maintaining vehicle functions during demonstrations or when the main battery is disconnected.
5.6. Forced Start Mode (Jump Starter)
The EM385 can provide a 400A starting current to easily jump-start car engines that are under 3.0T displacement. When the current exceeds 400A, the protection is triggered for 500 milliseconds, interrupting the output during the protection period.
