all electrical test or operate.
MARGINAL BATTERY

This gives the user a chance to check the J1708 connections and obtain
pertinent information such as the ambient temperature for later use in
testing the battery. Keep in mind that the ambient temperature may not
be the actual temperature of the battery unless the vehicle battery has
been in the place sufficient time for the battery to reach the surrounding
ambient temperature. A low oil temperature would add a greater demand
on the starter. This information is used by the BCT-200J to calculate the
condition of the starter.
