INTRODUCTUCTION 

 

Product Function 

 

The SP61009 Load Tester / System Analyser   

 

Battery Load Test 

Uses a fixed resistive load (125 Amps) to quickly and accurately evaluate the battery’s ability 

to crank an engine. The tester draws current from the battery while measuring its voltage drop. 

The voltage level of a good battery will remain relatively steady under load, but a defective 

battery will show a rapid decline in voltage. 

 

Charging Voltage Test 

This test measures the output voltage of the alternator/regulator. Checks diode function and 

indicates under or overcharging – which in turn can lead to poor battery performance and or 

reduced service life of battery. 

 

Starter Motor Test 

This test is used to motor analyse the starter motor. By testing the actual cranking current 

and cranking voltage of the starter motor, it is possible to determine starter motor condition. 

Excessive current draw makes starting difficult and shortens battery life.  

 

 

Technical Parameters 

 

  Measurement Range: 

 

 

  Voltage Range:  

9-15V DC

 

 

If you try to test a battery with less than 12 volts, there will appear “- L-” in digital 

display. This means you should charge the battery before testing.
