Battery Decisions and Recommendations
Decision
Recommended Action
IN BALANCE
The batteries are working correctly and are balanced.
OUT OF BALANCE
The batteries are not balanced with each other and should not be used together.
CHARGE
Charge the battery pair and retest.
Failure to fully charge the battery before retesting may cause
false readings.
If CHARGE appears again after you fully charge the battery, replace the battery.
REPLACE
Replace the battery and retest. A REPLACE result may also mean a poor connection between the
battery cables and the battery. After disconnecting the battery cables, retest the battery using the out-of-
vehicle test before replacing it.
