maintain the lowest voltage of 7.2V. The unit of CCA is Ampere.
For some vehicles, especially long time used ones, it is hard to
start the engine smoothly, and has to be done twice or for some
seconds. Actually the electricity consumes most when starting
the engine. The voltage drops off from the normal value 12.5V to
10.5V even lower at the moment that large current discharge
shortly. The large CCA is very helpful to start the engine
smoothly.
★ CA－Cranking Ampere
The main meaning is very close to that of CCA. The unit is
Ampere also. The temperature under testing is the only one
difference between them. CCA refers to the result that
measured under -17.8°C, and CA refers to the result that
measured under 0°C. If there indicates both CCA and CA on the
battery, CCA value is lower for the reason that the lower
temperature is, the worse battery works.
★ AH－Ampere Hour
This is a standard written by Japanese Industrial Standard
(JIS). It is explained that the battery discharges with a fixed
ampere for 20 hours along with over 10.5V. Therefore the value
multiplied by a fixed ampere and the number of hour is Ampere
Hour. For example a battery discharges with 5 ampere fixed for
20 hours, its Ampere Hour is 100.
★ DIN－Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V.
Under a cold temperature of 0°F(-18°C), the Ampere
quantity is 9.0V 30 seconds with the lowest voltage, while 8.0V
150seconds.
★ IEC－ International Electrotechnical Commission
Under an average current, every battery cooled in the
situation of 0°F (-18°C)can load the lowest voltage of 8.4Vfor 60
seconds.
★ BSR－Battery Saving Ratio
Under an average current, every battery cooled in the
situation of 0°F(-18°C)can load the lowest voltage of 6.0Vfor
180 seconds.
★ BCI－Battery Commission of International
Under an average current, every battery cooled in the
situation of 0°F(-18°C) ~ -20°F(-29°C)can load the lowest
voltage of 7.2V for 30 seconds.

1.Brief Introduction
DI-216/DI-217 battery storage testers are used for
activated style lead-acid storage battery, along with checking
the following conditions of the battery, starting up, charging,
and electrical loading. With great design, easy operation,
precise reading, complete functions, this tester supply the
readings by a large LCD and hints by sound and light when
testing. Precise circuit and strong digital processing unit make
it complete collection of a series of complicated data and figure
out every test data, which availably by 4-wire Kelvin test
connection. Besides it strengthens input protection inside , in
order to prevent such situations as polar reversal connection ,
over-high voltage input, poor contact of the test clamps and so
on. That makes sure safer and more convenient when testing.
This tester is the best tool for battery sales, vehicle repair
and condition check of all kinds of lead-acid batteries that used
in equipment system associated with lead-acid battery.
2.Safety Rules And Attentions
This manual includes instruction, operation warning and
maintenance. It is possible to damage the tester without
regulations in this manual. This tester is designed and
produced strictly according to GB4793.1 electronic
measurement instrument safety requirement and
IEC/EN61010-1 safety standard. It also reach double insulation
over voltage standard CATⅢ 600V and pollution degree 2 .
(1) DI-216/DI-217 is available to vehicle of 12V storage battery.
(2) The working voltage of DI-216/DI-217 is DC 9V to 18V. Make
sure do not check the series connection battery.
(3) The voltage value will be higher than that in the normal
situation after the checked battery being fully charged . Please
turn on the headlights for 2 to 3minutes, then check the battery
when it’s voltage value drop to the normal value.
(4) Check the insulating layer of the clamps before measuring.
Damage, bareness and disconnection are unacceptable. It is
8-2 It is unavailable to know the electric quantity of
storage battery by intuition
Hydrometer can be used to check the condition of the
battery. Battery water is distilled water and pure sulfuric acid of
the proportion of 1.260/20°C to allocate. For a new battery, it is
supposed to supply distilled waterwith reduction of battery water
for the reason that the degree of acid is fixed when the quantity
of battery water remain the normal range. Distilled water
supplement can maintain a certain amount of water, but alsothe
PH value. If the battery works normally, in addition to the PH is
fixed, the proportion of the value will be in a certain range.
If the battery finishes charging, the proportion of battery
water does not reach 1.26-1.28, along with the tested voltage
under 12.7V, the storage capacity of this battery has descended.
It is impossible to recover its life by deliberately adjusting the
proportion to 1.26 (Increase the sulfuric acid water), on the
contrary shorten its life fast for the reason that it will increase
the acidity of battery water, not the voltage however.

8. Knowledge About Automobile Battery
8-1 The internal resistance of different types of
battery differ
The internal resistance differs because of inconformity of
internal chemical feature even if with the same type battery. It is
very small so that we generallydefine it with unit of milliohm.
Internal resistance is a significanttechnical standard to
measure a battery. Normally the battery with small internal
resistance has a great ability to discharge. On the contrary the
battery with large internal resistance has a little ability to
discharge.

6-4 Is the CCA value tested by this tester correct?
CCA is looked as a control standard with the produce of the
battery. According to the accumulated records, the tested value
of new battery is 10-15% higher than the standard value, and
along with consuming of the battery, the value is getting close to
standard, even lower afterward.
6-5 What is the difference between the method of this
tester and the load test method?
The load test method: According to the physical formula
R=V/1, test equipment forcibly make the high permanent DC
current ( presently 40-80A large current is available ) go through
the battery shortly ( about 2-3 seconds). And then the tested
voltage of the battery can be used to figure out the internal
resistance by the formula.
The disadvantage of this method:
(1) Just available for large capacitance battery or storage
battery. The small capacitance battery can not load 40-80A
large current in 2-3 seconds.
(2) When the large current going through the battery, there
comes out polarization phenomenon from internal electrode,
which can cause polarization internal resistance. As a result it
has to be tested in a short time. Otherwise there is a large error
of the internal resistance value.
(3) The internal electrode will be damage generally when large
current go through the battery.
The method of this tester:Battery is actually equivalent to an
active resistance. So we add a fixed frequency and small current
to it, and then sample the voltage value. Eventually the internal
resistance can be figured out after some operation such as
rectificationand smoothing.
The advantage of this method:
(1)It is available to almost all kinds of batteries, including the
small capacitance battery. Generally it is used to test internal
resistance of notebook battery.
(2)No much damage to the battery.

6.FAQ
6-1 What is the measurement principle of this tester?
The battery will gradually aging with increase of time. The
main reason is that it can no longer generate some effectively
chemical reaction because of aging of the surface of the battery
plate. That is why most of the batteries can longer be used
mainly. International Electric and Electronic Engineer
Association(IEEE)formally looks the Conductivity Test as one of
the standard of checking lead acid storage battery. It points out
from IEEE standard 1118-1996 that :Conductivity Test is used
to test AC current generated by putting the known frequency and
amplitude AC signal to both sides of the battery. AC conductivity
value is the ratio of AC current signal which keeps same phase
with AC voltage and the AC voltage. This tester is designed from
this principle actually.
6-2 Can it be affected by the installation of negative
current inside the vehicle?
All the negative currency will affect the result. Therefor please
remove the negative currency prior to checking, in order to
achieve the accurate data.
6-3 Can this tester predict when does the battery
become useless?
The internal resistance of the sealed lead-acid battery is
complicated. It is generated by ohm internal resistance,
concentration polarization internal resistance, chemical
reactions internal resistance and interference effect caused by
double capacitance’s charging. The ingredient of internal
resistance and its relative content will change with different test
method and different test moment, which can lead to different
tested value of the internal resistance. And there is no strict
relationship between internal resistance (or conductance) and
capacitance of the sealed lead-acid battery. So it is impossible
to predict the life of battery according to a single battery’s
internal resistance. But it can be predicted the life of the battery
will be over soon from the sudden increase of its internal
resistance and decrease of its conductance.
