BST-860 Battery Tester User Manual

 

 

Battery test

 is mainly targeted to analyze the battery healthy status to calculate the 

actual cold cranking capability of the battery and the aging extent, which provide reliable 

analysis evidence for the test and maintenance of the battery.It notifies the user to replace 

battery in advance when the battery getting aged. 

       

Cranking test 

is mainly to test and analyze the starting motor. Through testing the 

actual required cranking current and cranking voltage of the starting motor, it can find out 

whether the starting motor works fine.There are several reasons why the starting motor is 

abnormal: lubricating system fault causing the starting loaded torque increasing or rotor 

friction of the starting motor causing the increasing friction of the starting motor itself. 

Charging test

 is to check and analyze the charging system, including generator, 

rectifier, rectifier diode, etc., thus to find out whether the output voltage of the generator is 

normal, the rectifier diode works fine and the charging current is normal.Suppose one of the 

above mentioned parts is not in normal situation, it will lead to over charge or incomplete 

charge of the battery, thus the battery will be quickly damaged and also greatly shorten the 

using life of other loaded electrical appliance.
