You MUST allow voltage to stabilize
for an accurate test. If, voltage is low,
tester will start a one minute clock to

DEFINITIONS - SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS
VOLTAGE DROP TESTS
The specifications for those tests are listed below.
The minimum system voltage to run a test is 12.25 Volts for a 12
Volt system and 24.5 Volts for a 24 Volt system.
During each battery test the BCT-200J uses various results that are
displayed after each test. The definition of those results are as follows:
•
% Charge =
an approximate amount of charge the battery is
currently holding. This is based upon the batteries voltage.
•
Est. CCA =
is the approximate CCA of the fully charged battery.
•
GOOD BATTERY =
a battery that is good and is charged.
•
GOOD NEEDS CHARGE =
a battery that is good but is low on
charge.
•
MARGINAL BATTERY =
a battery that has passed the load
test but the estimated CCA is getting low or the battery is
approaching its end of life.
•
CHARGE and RETEST =
a battery with insufficient charge to
provide accurate test results.
•
BAD BATTERY =
a battery that is bad and should be replaced.
A bad battery is a battery that failed the load test or had an
estimated CCA below about 70% of the rated value.
