GR8 DIAGNOSTIC TESTER/CHARGER TOOL AND BATTERY WARRANTY POLICY
TSB #: 18-EE-003
Page 2 of 10
SUBJECT:
Basic Operation and Battery Warranty Policy using the GR8:
1. Perform a quick test
in the Battery Test mode. If the Battery Test mode provides a “Replace
Battery” result, the battery can be replaced without further steps.
2.
If the Battery Test Mode produces a “Charge and Retest” result, you are then required to
conduct a Diagnostic Charge that will determine whether the battery is able to be brought to a
“Good Battery” condition by a full GR8 charge. If the initial diagnostic charge test finds that the
charge will not revive the battery, it will usually indicate “Replace Battery” within 20 minutes on
average.
3.
Should the battery pass the “Diagnostic Charge” test, it will continue charging until the battery
reaches a full charge condition
(which can take up to 1.5 hours) and indicate “Good Battery” by
automatically printing out a printout when completed successfully.
4. The GR8 produces printouts of the results in both the Battery Test and Diagnostic Charge
modes. Both printouts must be attached to the warranty repair order with proper VIN and RO
numbers entered via the GR8’s keyboard.
Flooded Battery
AGM Battery
A
“Diagnostic Charge” must be performed if the battery test resulted in
“Charge & Retest”.
