OTC 3112 Battery Reset Tool

Category: Drivetrain
Price: $140
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Location (Region): SouthEast
Item Condition: Used

This battery reset tool has been used 1 time in an attempt to reset the battery control system in my Mini. I bought it because the seller wanted $86 to reset the system for me and I figured 2 dead and/or replaced batteries and the tool has paid for itself. Unfortunately, I relied on the word of the dealer and other sites which stated the tool was compatible with my year model rather then researching this for myself and I since found that that tool will not work on either vehicle I own. I tried to return it but since I actually plugged it up, they will not allow me to return it so I am simply trying to recoop my losses.
This is a good tool for a small shop or a do-it-yourselfer like myself who would rather do than pay to have it done for you.
(I just bought and received the tool last week so it should still be overed under the manufacturers warranty).

Unfortunately I had not come across this until after I had purchased the device and tried to use it. That's when I went to the OTC site and found this doc. I had relied on other sites stating that it was compatible when I bought it. I simply got in too big a hurry and pulled the trigger before doing the proper research.
