including ordinary lead acid battery,AGM flat plate battery,AGM spiral battery,
and Gel battery,Lithium battery etc. it adopts the state-of-the -art conductance
testing
technology
in the word to
easily,
quickly
and
accurately
measur
e
the
actual cold cranking amps capability of the vehicle starting battery,healthy
state of the battery itself,and common fault of the vehicle starting system and
charging system, which can help maintenance personnel to find the find the

CUR: Current Voltage
MAX: Maximum Voltage during Ignition MIN: Minimum Voltageduring
Ignition
The waveform will stay in staticuntil there's changes in the voltage
changesdetected
Various vehicle voltage analyses
• Discharge Voltage: When the ignition OFF,engine OFF (Over 20
Minutes),the Discharge Voltage should be around 12V. If the discharge
voltage is lower than 11V, it will be hard to turn the ignition ON. If the
discharge voltage continuously stay under 11V, ii means the battery is
aging and replacement is needed.
• Starting Voltage: During ignition, the voltage will drop to a certain
point, at this minimum point is Starting Voltage (Around 7.5- 9.5V). If
the Starting Voltage continuously stay under 7.5, it means battery
capacity is low and needs to be replaced
• Charging Voltage: When the ignition ON,engine ON. The alternator
will continuously charge the car battery,normally is around 14V
