TEST RESULTS
STARTING SYSTEM TEST
The test results are as following:
A. GOOD PASS The battery is good and capable of holding a charge.
B. GOOD RECHARGE The battery is good but needs to be recharged.
C. RECHARGE RETEST Battery is discharged, the battery condition cannot be
determined until it is fully charged. Recharge and retest the battery.
D. BAD REPLACE The battery will not hold a charge. It should be
replaced immediately.
E. TEST ERROR The tested battery is bigger than 1200CCA. Or the clamps are
not connected properly. Please fully charge the battery and retest after
excluding both previous reasons. If reading is the same, the battery should
be replaced immediately.
1. Connect the tester to a vehicle battery; tester will be in default BATTERY TEST mode.
2. Press the ARROW button once to enter SYSTEM TEST. The voltage, __. __ V.
will appear on the screen.
3. Press the ENTER button to go to next step. The screen will show TURN OFF
LOADS START ENGINE.
4. Turn off all vehicle accessory loads such as lights, air conditioning, and radio.
Everything must be off for an accurate test. Start the engine, wait for the tester
to detect the cranking voltage.
5. With the engine running and test complete, one of the three results will be dis-
played along with the actual voltage reading measured.
A. CRANKING VOLTS NORMAL The system cranking voltage is in a good range.
B. CRANKING VOLTS LOW The cranking voltage is below normal limits;
troubleshoot the starter with manufacturers recommended procedure.
C. CRANKING VOLTS NOT DETECTED The cranking voltage is not detected,
retest. Press the ENTER button to go to first step.
Battery Test
GOOD PASS - Battery is good and capable of holding a charge.
GOOD RECHARGE - Battery is good but needs to be recharged.
CHARGE RETEST - Battery condition cannot be determined until fully charged.
BAD REPLACE - Battery will not hold a charge, t should be replaced.
TEST ERROR - Battery is bigger than 1200CCA, or clamps are not connected properly.
Cold Cranking Voltage Test
CRANKING VOLTS NORMAL - System cranking voltage is in a good range.
CRANKING VOLTS LOW - Cranking voltage is below normal limit.
CRANKING VOLTS NOT DETECTED - Cranking voltage is not detected, retest.
Charging System Test
ALT. IDLE VOLTS NORMAL - System is showing normal output from the alternator.
ALT. IDLE VOLTS LOW - Alternator is not providing sufficient current to the battery.
ALT. IDLE VOLTS HIGH - Alternator voltage output exceeds normal limits of the regulator.
Accessory Loads Test
ALT. LOAD VOLTS NORMAL - System is showing normal output from the alternator.
ALT. LOAD VOLTS LOW - Alternator not providing sufficient current for the systems electrical load.
ALT. LOAD VOLTS HIGH - Alternator voltage to the battery exceeds normal limits of the regulator.
1. When you’ve finished your test, store the Digital Battery Analyzer in an area where it will
not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosion, or any harmful elements.
2. Keep the Battery Tester clean and free of any corrosive fluid.
3. Clean clamps thoroughly to prevent corrosion from battery fluid.
4. Wipe case with a damp rag, never submerge the tool in water or cleaner.
