1.2 Product Function
The battery test is targeted to analyse the battery’s health status, by calculating the actual cold
cranking capability of the battery and the effect of aging.
The tester provides reliable analysis of a battery’s condition and notifies the user to replace a
battery in advance of its ultimate failure.

This tester is intended to be used by automotive and marine manufacturers, automotive and
marine maintenance / repair workshops, as well as automotive and marine battery distributors
and retailers. It is applicable for DIY users, small engine and motorcycle repair workshops, etc.
Points to remember
•
Low use batteries should be charged once every 1 – 2 months to extend the battery life.
•
Generally speaking a battery needs recharging if under 12.40 volts
•
When charging is finished, do not test immediately, wait at least 10 minutes to allow the
battery to stabilise, then test.
•
Even when testing an in-vehicle battery, after the engine is turned off (for the most
accurate results) wait 10 minutes before testing.
•
If the battery’s health state is lower than 60% consider replacing the battery.
