TEST PROCEDURES / OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
1. For testing 6 and 12 volt batteries, 24V battery pack, and for testing 12 and 24
volt charging systems.
2. Suggested operation range 0濎(32ʲ) to 50濎(122ʲ) in ambient
temperature.
WARNING
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including arsenic, which is
known to the State of California to cause cancer.
For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
1. Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate
explosive gases during normal battery operation. For this reason, it is of
utmost importance, if you have any doubt, that each time before using your
tester, you read these instructions very carefully.
2. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those
published by the battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment
you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Observe cautionary markings on
these items.
3. Do not expose the tester to rain or snow.
PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
1. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to
your aid when you work near a lead acid battery.
2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing or eyes.
3. Wear safety glasses and protective clothing.
4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.
If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least
ten minutes and get medical attention immediately.
5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
2
English

6. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It
could spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause
an explosion.
7. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and
watches when working with a lead acid battery. It can produce a short circuit
current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal causing a severe burn.
PREPARING TO TEST:
1. Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while battery is being tested.
2. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact
with eyes.
3. Inspect the battery for cracked or broken case or cover. If battery is damaged,
do not use tester.
4. If the battery is not sealed maintenance free, add distilled water in each cell
until battery acid reaches level specified by the manufacturer. This helps
purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill.
5. If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to test, always remove ground
terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off to
ensure you do not cause any arcing.
OPERATION & USE:
Note: Each time you connect the tester to a battery, the tester will run a quick
cable verification to ensure a proper connection through the output cables to
sensors in the clamp jaws. If the connection checks out OK, the tester will
proceed to the Home Screen. If the connection is poor, the display will show
“CHECK CABLE”. In this case, check cable connections for visible signs of
damage, as you may need to re-connect the clamps to the battery or replace the
cable end.

English

HOW TO REPLACE CABLE END:
1. Detach the clamp lead when the replacement is necessary.
2. Make sure the new clamp lead is well connected.
NOTE that do not detach the cables unless necessary to make sure
the pins are not rusted or corroded by the acid liquid.
BEFORE TESTING:
1. Before you test a battery in a vehicle, turn off the ignition, all accessories and
loads. Close all the vehicle doors and the trunk lid.
2. Make sure you have put 6 pcs 1.5V batteries into the battery chamber.
Oxyride batteries are not recommended because of the initial 1.7 Volt output.
If the 1.5V battery runs out of power, screen will show “POWER LOW”.
Replace those 6 pcs 1.5V batteries before starting the test.
Note that nothing will be seen on the display until the tester is
connected to a vehicle battery.
3. Make sure the battery terminals are clean. Wire brush them if necessary.
Clamp the black load lead to the vehicle negative battery terminal. Clamp the
red load lead to the vehicle positive battery terminal. Please clamp on the lead
part of the terminal only. Clamping on the iron part of the terminal will lead to
wrong test results.
4. Paper load:
Open the clear cover. Insert paper to the paper feeding for auto running the
paper into printer

GLOSSARY
What is a GEL battery?
A gel battery is a lead-acid electric storage battery that:
Ɏis sealed using special pressure valves and should never be opened.
Ɏis completely maintenance-free.
Ɏuses thixotropic gelled electrolyte.
Ɏuses a recombination reaction to prevent the escape of hydrogen and oxygen
gases normally lost in a flooded lead-acid battery (particularly in deep cycle
applications).
Ɏis non-spillable, and therefore can be operated in virtually any position.
However, upside-down installation is not recommend-ed.
ɎConnections must be retorqued and the batteries should be cleaned
periodically.
What is an AGM battery?
An AGM battery is a lead-acid electric storage battery that:
Ɏis sealed using special pressure valves and should never be opened.
Ɏis completely maintenance-free.*
Ɏhas all of its electrolyte absorbed in separators consisting of a sponge-like
mass of matted glass fibers.
Ɏuses a recombination reaction to prevent the escape of hydrogen and oxygen
gases normally lost in a flooded lead-acid battery (particularly in deep cycle
applications).
Ɏis non-spillable, and therefore can be operated in virtually any position.
However, upside-down installation is not recommended.
ɎConnections must be retorqued and the batteries should be cleaned
periodically.

What is a VRLA battery?
Valve Regulated Lead Acid Battery –This type of battery is sealed Maintenance
Free with a “Bunce” Valve or Valves in the top of them that opens when a preset
pressure is realized inside the battery and let’s the excess gas pressure out.
Then the valve resets itself.
What is a SLI battery?
These initials stand for Starting, Lighting and Ignition, which are the three basic
functions which a battery has to perform on all normal vehicles. Batteries given
this description will have been specifically designed for service on cars and trucks
within a voltage controlled electrical system. Those SLI batteries which are
intended for heavy haulage vehicles fitted with large diesel motors may often be
called COMMERCIAL batteries. They have to be much more powerful and more
robust than batteries intended for cars.
What is STATE OF HEALTH?
It means how much battery capacity is left (%) comparing with the marked original
battery capacity.
What is STATE OF CHARGE?
It means how many percent of the battery is actually charged.
What is CCA (COLD CRANKING AMPS)?
The current in amperes which a new fully charged battery can deliver for 30
seconds continuously without the terminal voltage falling below 1.2volts per cell,
after it has been cooled to 0OF and held at that temperature. This rating reflects
the ability of the battery to deliver engine starting currents under winter conditions.
What is AMPERE-HOUR?
The unit of measurement of electrical capacity. A current of one ampere for one
hour implies the delivery or receipt of one ampere-hour of electricity. Current
multiplied by time in hours equals ampere-hours.
