LED Indicator meaning after load test:
Load Test
Battery Condition
Good
(Green LED)
Battery capacity is OK. Battery may or not be fully charged.
Check Specific Gravity of charge. If SG is less than full charge,
check for electrical drain or possible system trouble. Recharge
battery to full level.
Weak or Bad,
But Display
Remains Steady
(Yellow or Red LED)
Battery capacity is not satisfactory. Battery may be either
defective or not fully charged. Check SG to determine which
condition exists. If charging does not bring SG to full charge
level, battery should be replaced.
Weak or Bad,
But Display
Remains Failing
(Yellow or Red
LED)
Battery may be defective or very run down. Release load switch
and note display reaction. Voltage recovery to12 volt or above
within seconds indicates defective battery. Slow voltage
recovery indicates run down condition. For best results, check
SG.

Safety Precautions & Warnings
To prevent personal injury or damage to vehicles and/or the Battery Analyser, read this
instruction manual first and observe the following safety precautions at a minimum whenever
working on a vehicle:
1. Always perform automotive testing in a safe environment.
2. Wear safety eye protection that meets the AS/NZS 1337.1 standards.
3. Keep clothing, hair, hands, tools, test equipment, etc., away from all moving or hot engine
parts.
4. Operate in a well-ventilated work area; charging batteries can create explosive gases.
5. Chock drive wheels and never leave vehicle unattended while running tests.
6. Use extreme caution when working around the ignition coil, distributor cap, ignition wires
and spark plugs. These components create hazardous voltages when the engine is
running.
