Set Reference Rating Value
(AA350, AA400, AA500p)
The reference rating of the battery is the
Cold Cranking Amps rating of the battery as
determined by the manufacturer when the
battery was made. This value is generally
printed on the battery, for example ‘530
CCA’ or ‘En300A’ depending upon the rating
standard used to rate the battery. The analyzer
will compare the reference value to the
measured value to understand how much
capability the battery has lost. This comparison
is used to determine ‘Battery Life’, discussed
later in this manual.
After selecting the rating standard, use the
> or < buttons to set the reference rating of
the battery. Hold the > or < button to quickly
change the value. press the button to
confirm the value. The reference value will be
shown in the lower right of the display.
If you do not know the battery rating, or if you
do not wish to enter a reference rating value,
press the button to start the test procedure.
In this case, a reference value will not be
shown in the lower right of the display.

If you have entered an incorrect reference
value, or selected an incorrect rating
standard, ‘Battery Life’ results will be
incorrect.
