USING THE BATTERY VOLTAGE TESTER 

1. 

With the charger unplugged from the 

AC outlet, connect the charger to the 

battery, following the instructions given in 

previous sections.

2. 

Plug the charger AC power cord into the 

AC outlet.

3. 

If necessary, press the BATTERY TYPE 

button until the correct type is indicated.

4. 

Read the voltage on the digital display. 

Keep in mind that this reading is only a 

battery voltage reading; a false surface 

charge may mislead you. Compare the 

reading to the following chart.

TESTER AND CHARGER 

When first turned on, the unit operates only 

as a tester, not as a charger. Selecting a 

charge rate activates the battery charger 

and deactivates the tester. Pressing the 

RATE SELECTION button when the 

ENGINE START LED is lit (except during 

the 180 second cool down) will shut off the 

charger and activate the tester.

POWER-UP IDLE TIME LIMIT

If no button is pressed within 10 minutes 

after the battery charger is first powered up, 

the charger will automatically switch from 

tester to charger if a battery is connected. In 

that case, the charger will be set to the 

Charging/Maintaining rate and gel cell 

battery type.

TESTING AFTER CHARGING

After the unit has been changed from tester 

to charger (by selecting a charge rate), it 

remains a charger. To change the battery 

charger back to a tester, press the RATE 

SELECTION button until all charge rate 

LEDs are off.

NOTE:

 The battery tester is only designed 

to test batteries. Testing a device with a 

rapidly changing voltage could yield 

unexpected or inaccurate results.

USING THE ALTERNATOR 

PERFORMANCE TESTER

1. 

With the charger unplugged from the 

AC outlet, connect the charger to the 

battery, following the instructions given in 

previous sections.

2. 

Plug the charger AC power cord into the 

AC outlet.

3. 

Start the vehicle and turn on the vehicle’s 

headlights. Read the voltage on the digital 

display. If you get a reading between 

13.4 volts and 14.6 volts, the alternator 

is working properly. If the reading is less 

than 13.4 volts or more than 14.6 volts, 

have the charging system checked by a 

qualified technician.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

A minimal amount of care can keep your 

battery charger working properly for years.

• 

Clean the clamps each time you are 

finished charging. Wipe off any battery fluid 

that may have come in contact with the 

clamps to prevent corrosion.

• 

Occasionally cleaning the case of the 

charger with a soft cloth will keep the finish 

shiny and help prevent corrosion.

• 

Coil the input and output cords neatly when 

storing the charger. This will help prevent 

accidental damage to the cords and charger.

• 

Store the charger unplugged from the AC 

power outlet in an upright position.  

• 

Store inside, in a cool, dry place. Do not 

store the clamps clipped together, on or 

around metal, or clipped to the cables.
