Operating Elements
Button A : Test Start (Load Switch)
Button
B : Selecting the cold start current
Possible 9 steps for selecting the cold start current:
200 - 300 - 400 - 500 - 600 - 700 - 800 - 900 - 999 Ampere
Operation
Battery Condition Test
Note: Before any testing, make sure to clean the battery contacts.
1. Connect the Red Clamp (+) to the positive (+) terminal post on the battery. Connect the Black
Clamp (-) to the negative (-) terminal post on the battery.
2. Check the Battery Tester LED Window (See FIGURE 1) to determine effectiveness of charge. If
the Battery Tester does not register and no display is seen, double check that the Clamps are
connected to the proper terminal posts. Make certain a clean connection has been made
between the Clamps and terminal posts.
3. Press button (B) to select the cold start current of the battery.
The selected cold start current is indicated on the display for a short time.
The lowest value for the cold start current is 200A and increases by 100 Amps each time the
button (B) is pressed. Caution: Please do not confuse cold start current with battery capacity
(e.g., 60Ah), the value for the cold start current is indicated on the battery.
4. Press the test button (A), the test procedure is shown on the display. The devise shows the test
result after about ten seconds.
Attention : Do not test more than three times in a five minute period. Allow one minute for cool
down between tests.
Note : If a battery does not have the charge expected, have a qualified technician check the
specific gravity. There may be an electrical drain or charging system trouble. If charging does not
raise the specific gravity, you may have a defective battery. Analyzing test results by color
display: The Battery Tester will measure battery output/ charge in two ways. The Condition
Indicator (See FIGURE) will indicate a color telling you the general condition of the battery.
LED Battery condition Action Battery voltage
Red Bad
Battery is uncharged
and possibly damaged.
Charging &
Test again
smaller than 9.5 volts
Yellow Weak Battery is undercharged. Charging 9.5 to 11.2 volts
Green Good Battery is fully charged. No greater than11.2 volts
5. If the battery is without significant charge, charge the battery according to the manufacturer and
make a new test. If the new test is without significant charge again, then the battery is defective.
