If you select JIS, the analyzer will ask for the JIS part
number. Scroll to the part number. To increase your
scrolling speed, hold the UP or DOWN ARROW key, or use
the LEFT or RIGHT ARROW key to move up or down four
part numbers at a time. Press ENTER to continue.
Press the NEXT soft key to continue.

Charging Modes
Diagnostic Charging has four modes (Initial Analysis, Deep Scan
Test, Diagnostic Mode, Top-Off Mode) that the GR8 may use to
determine the State-of-Health of the battery while bringing it
to a full State-of-Charge.
Initial Analysis
The GR8 first analyzes the battery and may make a decision:
GOOD BATTERY, REPLACE BATTERY, or REPLACE-BAD CELL. For
diagnostic charge analysis, progress is shown by the left to
right movement of a progress bar.
Deep Scan Test
In some cases the GR8 may need to further analyze the battery
to determine whether the battery should be replaced or it has
a significant chance to be recovered. It will then conduct a
Deep Scan Test of the battery for a few seconds.
After the Deep Scan Test the GR8 will either display the results
or give you the option to perform the 5-Minute Discharged
Battery Test. Although this test takes several minutes, it gives
a more precise result for difficult-to-diagnose batteries. The
decision tree of the test is shown below.
