Pair Test Result
Decision Recommended Action
and Information
GOOD PAIR Return the pair to service
CHARGE PAIR Fully charge the pair and return it to
service.
REPLACE PAIR Replace the pair. A REPLACE
PAIR result may also mean a poor
connection between the battery
cables and the battery. After taking
the battery out, retest the battery
using the OUT OF VESSEL test
before replacing it.
OUT OF BALANCE The batteries used in the pack do
not have the same state of charge
and/or the same state of health. This
means the testers are not in balance
and this can result in a non properly
functioning battery pair. Follow the
tester’s instructions.
