Completing a Charge Session
The charge session is complete when the proper amount of
charge is put back into the battery or the remaining estimated
time to charge counts down to zero.
If the GR8 finds that the battery is bad before the end of the
estimated time to charge, it displays the decision REPLACE
BATTERY or BAD CELL-REPLACE and the results.
If charging at the side posts or jump start posts and the test
data is inconclusive, the GR8 displays the decision JUMP
START POST or SIDE POST TEST. A JUMP START POST decision
prompts you to test at the battery. A SIDE POST TEST decision
prompts you to test using the side post adapters.
When the decision is GOOD BATTERY, the GR8 gives you
the option of topping off the battery’s charge level before it
displays the results.

OK-REPLACE SOON
The battery may fail under extreme
climate conditions. The battery

the vehicle and the battery. If you
tested the battery using the System
test, disconnect the battery cables
and retest using the Battery Test
before replacing it.
REPLACE BATTERY
Before replacing the battery make
sure battery cables and connections
are clean and solid. If they are
loose or corroded, clean and tighten,
then retest.
BAD CELL - REPLACE Replace the battery. This decision
indicates a bad cell within the
battery.
WARNING:
Charging a
battery with a bad cell is
dangerous!
24 VOLT BATTERY
24-volt battery detected. You are
attempting to test in-vehicle both
