Initial analysis
When you select the last charge parameter the GR8 begins the
initial battery analysis. The progress of the analysis is shown by
the left to right movement of a progress bar.
If additional testing is required, progress is shown by the
clockwise fill of a pie chart.
Deep Scan Test
In some cases the GR8 may need to further analyze a deeply
discharged battery to determine whether the battery should be
replaced, or if it can possibly be recovered. It will then conduct a
Deep Scan Test of the battery
for a few seconds while displaying
a battery undergoing a scan. If any messages appear during the
test, refer to Chapter 10: Test Messages on page 45.
If the battery does no
t need charging, the GR8 displays the
results and its analysis, which includes the State-of-Health
(SOH). For screen illustrations and an explanation of the
results, see the next section.

Diagnostic Charging
If the GR8 determines that the battery has an i
nsufficient State-of-Charge,
it automatically begins Diagnostic Charge Mode. During
the charge session the GR8 controls t
he charging voltage, current and duration based on its continual analysis of testing and
charging data, and the selected battery parameters.
The illustration shows an example of the information displayed during
charging.
