The New Battery Test in the Main Menu enables
you to quickly check new batteries in your inven-
tory. The test can test and store data for up to 100
batteries using the CCA rating and units or JIS part
number that you provide.
This test differs from the Battery Test in that the decision is
either pass or fail. Neither decision will tell you that a battery
is bad, but rather that the measured voltage and CCA fall in or
out of your requirements.
Do not connect both sets of clamps to
the same battery at the same time.
Connecting both sets of clamps to the same battery
at the same time may damage the GR8.
Only use
the small clamps from the GR8 control module
when performing a Battery Test.
NOTE: The New Battery Test does not produce a
test code.
