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 (%).
1.Technical Words

●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：
SK-8535 defines SOH 30% as the threshold of the battery replacement recommendation.
Test result shows "Replacement is necessary" when measured SOH is 30% 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：
SK-8535 defines as SOC 100% when the battery voltage is higher than 12.756V. (Higher than
13.056V for the battery for industry)
※SK-8535 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 "5. Date and Time Setting"
in page 37).
●Language changeable from English (default setting) to Japanese or simplified
Chinese. (Refer to "6. Language Setting" in page 38).
●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.

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 is for testing fundamental battery performance, charging and
discharging ability, but not for judging the capability of actuating the special
control function such as idle reduction system.
For the batteries working with such funcitons, charging ability may be weakened
in its using process. When the relevant functions cannot be activated, check the
system details in the maintenance manual of the vehicle.
●
The maximum CCA displayed with this unit is up to 1400CCA.
CAUTION

BATTERY TEST
Test the SOC (State of Charge) and SOH (State of Health) of the battery.
①Connect Black and Red battery clips to
minus ○− and plus ○＋ battery terminals.
※Connect them to the nearest part of the
terminals is acceptable if the clips cannot
catch the battery terminals.
In this case, CCA may be measured lower
than the actual value.

●Make visual inspection for the battery to be tested 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.
●Do not test the battery which has any damages on its body or terminals. Replace
immediately.
●As for the battery which battery fluid almost decreases to LOWER line, refill the
purified water and make auxiliary charging.
●Replace the battery which battery fluid is discolored and decreases under the
LOWER line.
