Carefully read all operating instructions before
using the BVA-230OZR
Wear eye protection when working around
batteries.
Be sure each test is completed before removing
load clamps to prevent arcing and potential
explosion from battery gases. Never remove
load clamps while testing. Keep sparks, flames or
cigarettes away from batteries.
Keep hair, hands, and clothing as well as tester
leads and cords away from moving blades and
belts.
Provide adequate ventilation to remove car exhaust.
In extremely cold temperatures, check for frozen electrolytic fluid before applying load.
Do not attempt to Load Test or charge a battery under 20 degrees. Allow the battery to
warm to room temperature before testing or charging.
Warning!
Never attach the BVA-230OZR to a battery that is connected to any other
tester or charging unit. Damage may result.
Incorrect Application:
Wrong size battery may have inadequate cold cranking rating
for original vehicle specifications.
Incorrect Installation:
Loose battery hold-downs cause excessive vibration, which
can result in damage to the plates.
Improper Maintenance:
Low electrolytic fluid and corrosion on battery connections
can greatly reduce battery life and affect battery performance.
Age of Battery:
If the date code on the battery indicates it is fairly old, the failure may
be due to natural causes.
Overcharging:
Overcharging caused by a high voltage regulator setting or incorrect
battery charging can cause excessive gasing, heat and water loss.
Undercharging:
Undercharging caused by a faulty charging system or low voltage
regulation can cause lead sulfate to gradually build up and crystallize on the plates
greatly reducing the battery's capacity and ability to be recharged.
SAFETY
CAUSE OF BATTERY FAILURE
Note:
Power switch must be ON to
communicate with POSI-160.
TESTING OF HYBRID VEHICLES
