Chapter 1: Introduction & Overview
Inspecting the Battery
Before starting the test visually inspect the battery for:
•
Cracked, buckled, or leaking case. If you see any of these
defects, replace the battery.
•
Corroded, loose, or damaged cables and connections. Re-
pair or replace them as needed.
•
Corrosion on the battery terminals, and dirt or acid on the
case top. Clean the case and terminals using a wire brush
and a mixture of water and baking soda.
•
Low electrolyte level. If the electrolyte level is low, add dis-
tilled water to fill up to ½ above the top of the plates and
fully charge the battery. Do not overfill.
•
Corroded or loose battery tray and hold-down fixture.
Tighten or replace as needed.
Charging Out-of-Vehicle (Battery Test)
The preferred battery charging location is in the vehicle.
However, if you plan to charge out of the vehicle:
•
Always disconnect the negative cable from the battery
first and reconnect it last.
•
Always use a carry tool or strap to lift and transport the
battery.
Do not test at the battery’s steel bolts.
Failure to properly install lead terminal adapters, or us-
ing adapters that are dirty or worn, may cause false test
results. Always use lead terminal adapters provided with
the charger when testing side-post batteries.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, never use a wrench to
tighten the adapters more than ¼ turn.
Connecting To The Battery
Connect the charging clamps to the battery in accordance
with all precautions and safety instructions. Do not connect
either clamp to the vehicle’s chassis.
Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal and the
black clamp to the negative (–) terminal. An alert is displayed
if the clamps are reversed on the battery terminals.
To make sure both sides of the clamps are gripping the
terminals, rock the each clamp back and forth. A poor
connection will prevent testing, and the analyzer will display
the message CHECK CONNECTION. If the message reappears
after you have correctly reconnected the clamps, clean the
terminals and reconnect.
