Are the AATPR20 and AATPR10 printers interchangeable?

No.  Though they appear nearly identical, these two printers are not interchangeable.  The AATPR10 will work only with the AA500P tester.  The AATPR20 includes newer features that are compatible only with the AA1000 series and AA360 testers.

Is the paper for the AATPR10/20 of a standard size available on the market?

Yes and no.  The width of the paper is standard (58mm, 2.25in), as is the thickness (65u.)  The diameter of the roll is non-standard at 23mm, 13/16in.  You may purchase rolls of paper from Argus or from any Argus distributor.  If you wish to source paper in bulk and prepare your own rolls, be sure to roll the paper such that the thermally active side of the paper faces the center of the roll.  More on rolling your own paper.

Can more than one AA tester use the same printer?

The printer can be attached and removed in a matter of seconds from any tester with a printer port, much like a battery pack on a cordless drill.  Technically one printer may be easily shared by a number of compatible testers.

Will the AA1000/360 tester work on discharged batteries?

Yes, the AA1000 series and AA360 testers are specifically designed to allow the testing of discharged batteries.  In most situations there is no need to charge a battery before testing. 

However, if the charge level is extremely low (below 11.8V), some test results will be automatically disabled.  If the battery voltage is below 6.0V the printer will not operate and below 4.5V the tester will not operate.  In this situation, the battery must be charged before testing.

Can test results be printed?

Yes, if you are using the AA1000 series or AA360 tester, the AATPR20 thermal printer can be attached to print test reports.  The printer is available as an option or can be purchased as a kit with the tester - choose the part number with 'RP' (AA1000-RP, AA360-RP.)  The AATPR20 printer also includes a memory to save up to 1000 test reports.
