Cranking Voltage Test
This test identifies excessive starter current draw, which makes starting difficult and shortens
battery life. Perform battery load test and proceed if battery is good.
ENGINE MUST BE AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE.
1.
Connect tester clamps to battery as described in Steps 1-2 under Battery Load Test.
2.
Disable the ignition so the car will not start.
3.
Crank the engine and note the voltage reading during cranking.
4.
A display reading of 9 volts or less indicates excessive current draw. This may be due
to bad connection of a failing starter motor; or the battery is too small for the vehicle’s
requirements.
Charging Voltage Test
This test measures the output voltage of the alternator/regulator. Check for under or overcharging:
The ENGINE SHOULD BE AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE.
1.
Connect tester clamps to battery as described in Steps 1-2 under Battery Load Test.
2.
Turn off all lights and accessories. Operate engine at fast idle (approximately 1500 RPM).
3.
Do not operate tester’s load switch.
4.
Read the displayed voltage and you can acquire one of following results:
•
Measured voltage < 13.5 volt → No good. Check alternator.
•
Measured voltage > 13.5 volt, but < 15 volt → Okay
•
Measured voltage > 15 volt → No good. Please check regulator.
5.
Turn headlights on - high beam and repeat same test No. 4 as above.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Clean the grips after each use and wipe off any battery acid that may have come in contact with
the clamps to prevent corrosion.
•
Keep your Load Tester / Analyser dry, clean and free from oil, water and grease.
•
Use a mild detergent on a clean cloth to clean the outside of the tool, when necessary.
•
