SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT
WARNING!
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
INTRODUCTION
• Make sure the area around the battery
tester is free from spark or flame when
testing automotive batteries. Doing so
may cause serious damage to vehicle's
electronic circuitry, thereby resulting
in fire or explosion.
• Never smoke when working near a
battery or engine.
• Do not drop a metal tool on the battery,
as doing so can create a spark or short
circuit in the battery or other electrical
parts, resulting in battery explosion.
• Never reverse the connection between
the positive/negative clamps of the
battery tester and battery terminals.
• Do not connect the positive/negative
clamps to battery terminals when the
spring-loaded switch is in the ON position.
• Always operate the battery tester in a
well-ventilated area.
This manual contains information that relates
to PROTECTING PERSONAL SAFETY and
PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS.
Carefully read and follow the guidelines in this
manual and give special attention to the
CAUTION and WARNING statements.
Before using your MotoMaster 100 A Battery
Tester, be sure to read and save these safety
instructions.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Battery tester features
ADJUSTMENT SCREW The screw is used to set
the dial pointer to zero on the battery / charging
system scale.
METER SCALE The scale represents the “state of
charge” of the battery. Use the 6-volts or 12-volts
on the scale to check the voltage level and condition
of 6 V and 12 V batteries during the battery loadtest.
Use the charging system section on the scale to
check the voltage level and condition of the battery
during the charging system test.
POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE CLAMPS
These clamps are connected to the positive and
negative terminals of the battery respectively.
SPRING-LOADED SWITCH
This switch must be held ON for 10 seconds
while testing the 6 V or 12 V batteries.
The MotoMaster 100 A Battery Tester is designed
to test the voltage level and condition of all types
of 6 V and 12 V automotive lead-acid batteries and
to measure motor starting current. The tester is
provided with colour-coded easy-to-read meter
scale, heavy-duty, insulated clamps, and is made
of steel.

Temperature compensation
This battery tester’s accuracy will be affected
by cold temperatures. For every 20 F (11°C)
drop in battery temperature, the battery tester
will indicate the battery nominal rating of 200
cranking amperes less than the actual rating
of the battery.
Consider the case if the battery tester tests a
battery with nominal rating of 1000 CCA.
Refer to the table below for the position of the
dial pointer in the meter scale with respect to
drop in temperature:

*1 step=200 cranking amps

Battery load test
WARNING!
• Before testing the battery, make sure the battery contacts are clean and firm.
• Make sure the engine and all electrical accessories are turned off when testing the battery.
• Make sure the positive and negative clamps of the battery tester do not touch each other.
• Ensure the dial pointer (1) on the meter scale
is pointing at zero. If not, set the dial pointer
using the adjustment screw (2) (fig A).
• Connect the positive (Red) clamp (1) of the
battery tester to positive terminal (2) of the
battery (fig B).

• Connect the negative (Black) clamp (1) of the
battery tester to negative terminal (2) of the
battery (fig C).
• Push the spring-loaded switch (1) to ON position
and hold the switch for at least 10 seconds (fig D).

METER SCALE
(CHARGING SYSTEM SECTION) BATTERY CONDITION
Dial pointer indicates green (OK) band.
Dial pointer indicates red band.
The battery capacity is good.
The battery capacity is insufficient. Check the
operating condition of the charging system.
• Turn off all the vehicle lights and electrical
accessories.
• Connect the positive (Red) clamp (1) of the
battery tester to the positive terminal (2)
of the engine battery and connect the
negative (Black) clamp (3) to the negative
terminal (4) of the engine battery (fig F).
• Run the vehicle engine at a fast idle speed. • Connect the positive and negative clamps to
the battery terminals. Note the exact voltage
in the meter scale.
Note: This test cannot be performed if the voltage
continues to drop after 10 seconds.
• Disable the ignition system of the vehicle so
that the spark plugs will not fire.
• Crank the engine and check the voltage on the
meter scale.
Note: If the reading is lower than the minimum cranking
voltage, there is excessive current draw in the starting
system. Check for poor connection, corrosion, defective
cables, or a defective starter motor or solenoid.
