Decision Recommended Action
GOOD BATTERY Return the battery to service.
GOOD–RECHARGE Fully charge the battery and return it to service.
CHARGE & RETEST * Fully charge the battery and retest.
Failure to fully charge the battery
before retesting may cause false readings. If
CHARGE & RETEST
appears again after you fully charge the battery, replace the battery.
REPLACE BATTERY ** Replace the battery and retest. A REPLACE BATTERY 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.
BAD CELL–REPLACE ** Replace the battery and retest.
* If the result is CHARGE & RETEST, the EXP will calculate and display the time needed to
charge the battery at 10, 20, and 40 A.
** When testing at the remote posts, the EXP may need to verify the result. It will give you the
option of retesting at the battery posts.
