BEFORE USE
●What is CCA?
CCA stands for Cold Cranking Amperes. It is defined as the current a battery at 0°F
(-18°C) can discharge for 30 seconds and maintain at least 7.2V (for JIS, SAE and
BCI). And it is defined as the current a battery at 0°F (-18°C) can discharge for 10
seconds and maintain at least 7.5V (for EN and DIN). The battery which has the
bigger CCA, the higher ability to start an engine, CCA is one of the criterion for
selection of the battery.
●What is SOH (Stateof Health)?
SOH is the health condition of the battery, the state is expressed in percentage (%).

●What is SOC (StateofCharge)?
SOC is the charging condition of the battery, the state is expressed in percentage (%).
Definition of SOH in this product：
ET8636 defines SOH 23% as the threshold of the battery replacement recommendation. Test
result shows "Replacement is necessary" when measured SOH is 23% or less and test
result of SOC is not "Charge/Retest".
※SOH(%) is calculated as the ratio of CCA standard value to CCA measured value.
※SOH(%) fluctuates due to the rate of deterioration and charging condition.
Definition of SOC in this product：
ET8636 defines as SOC 100% when the battery voltage is higher than 12.756V. (Higher than
13.056V for the battery for industry)
※ET8636 does not show the exact measurement voltage when testing the battery just after
an engine shutdown or just after charging. Test the battery after reducing the stimulated
condition according to the procedure mentioned in Page 12.

BEFORE USE
2. Language / Date & Time Settings
●Set date and time before using this instrument. (Refer to "8. Setting of Date and
Time" on Page 32).
●Language changeable from English (default setting) to Japanese or simplified
Chinese. (Refer to "9. Setting of Language" on Page 33).
●What is Ripple Voltage?
Ripple Voltage is the feeble change of charging voltage which occurs when rectifying
the generated voltage by diode. If diode is damaged, the ripple voltage fluctuated
sharply and adversely affects battery and in-vehicle apparatus.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES
1. Battery Test
●This instrument forced to be restarted if the testing battery is extremely
exhausted and cannot afford to supply the workable current.
●Test the battery in the state of the engine shutdown to obtain the accurate
measurement.
●When testing 24V battery, test each 12V battery which is connected in series.
●When testing the battery on vehicle, test the parked car after turning off the power
supply of all in-vehicle apparatuses which are using the electricity from battery
and locking the car door to obtain the accurate measurement.
●Test result may change when testing the same battery repeatedly. Also, test result
may change when testing the weak battery after using the printer.
●Test result may change, even when testing the same battery, depending on the
battery condition or change the storage environment.
●Test results may be higher than usual just after driving. When testing the battery
test of such a car, test it after doing the following procedure.
・Turn on the headlights for approx. 20 seconds.
・Turn off the headlights and test it more than 3 minutes after turning off the
headlights.
In case of the test result is "Charge/Retest" by turning on the headlights, shorten
the time of turning on the headlights after re-charging the battery, and lengthen
the time of intervals before testing.
When you do not perform the procedure mentioned above or testing battery unit
just after charging, test after an interval more than 2 hours.
●This instrument judges the battery condition with testing the basic use of the lead
battery such as charge-discharge characteristics. Test result is not for judging
whether the special control function can use for the vehicle or not.
●This instrument judges the battery condition with testing the basic use of the lead
battery such as charge-discharge characteristics. Test result is not for judging
whether the special control function can use for the vehicle or not.
Special purpose battery such as idling stop battery may not work idling stop
function due to decreasing charge acceptance occurring with long-term use. In
this case ask your car dealer for check and maintenance of the battery.
●The maximum CCA displayed with this unit is up to 1400CCA.
CAUTION

13
MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES
Test the SOC (State of Charge) and SOH (State of Health) of the battery.
①Connect Black clip and Red clip to battery
minus ○− terminal and plus ○＋ terminal
respectively.
When you cannot connect battery clips to
battery terminal directly, connect them to
the point from the terminals well as close
as possible.
※In this case a CCA may be measured
lower than a real value.

●Check the battery visually before connecting Battery Clips to the battery terminals.
●Replace the Battery Terminals if there is corrosion or crack occurs on the
Terminals.
●Connect the Battery Clips to the Battery Terminals tightly without loosening.
●Clean up the Battery Terminals and Battery Clips if there is greasy dirt.
●Replace the battery which is damaged, deformed of the Battery and broken the
Battery Terminals.
●Add the purified water and do auxiliary charge if the level of battery fluid
decreases near to the border of LOWER.
●Replace the battery that the level of battery fluid is lower than the border of
LOWER with discolored battery fluid.

Can you find default internal resistance value of the testing
battery which may be written in its body or user's manual?
YES NO
Input that value in this step. Select "NO" in the previous step, and test the unused
(new) battery without inputting rating value to check
the default internal resistance value. Then, input that
value in this step.
When temperature input setting is set

※Make sure to input Industrial Rating when testing battery condition (good / bad) of
industrial battery.
※In case of the test result of the Battery Test is "Replace (Cell Defect)", charge battery
fully, and test it again and judge with observing a state of the battery.
※For the vehicle equipped with higher grade battery, start performance of engine may
have no problem even if the judgment result is "Replace". In this case, battery
replacement is recommended to prevent suddenly battery breakdown.
The battery which is not charged for a long term may be judged "Replace" due to
decreasing CCA by self-discharge even if it is a new battery. Keep the battery with
periodical auxiliary charge to prevent deterioration by leaving with exhausted
condition for a long term.
