ͻBe sure area around baery is well venlated while baery is being tested.
• Clean baery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with
eyes.
•If the baery is not sealed and maintenance-free , add dislled water in each cell
ƵŶƚŝůbaery acid reaches level specied by baery manufacturer. This helps purge
excessive gas from cells. Do not overll.
• If necessary to remove baery from vehicle for tesng, always remove grounded
terminal from baery rst. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are o so as not
to cause an arc.
PREPARING TO TEST
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
For use with 12 V lead-acid baeries only.
CAUTION! Undercharged lead-acid baeries will freeze during cold weather. NEVER
TEST OR CHARGE A FROZEN BATTERY. Suggested operaonal range 32°F (0°C) to 122°F
(50°C) ambient air temperature.
BATTERY LOAD TEST
NOTE: Tesng a discharged baery will yield inaccurate results. Before tesng, baery
should be fully charged and allowed to rest 30 minutes to remove surface charge.
1. Turn o the ignion and ensure all accessories are in the “OFF” posion to ensure
there are no loads being drawn from the baery.
2. Connect the red clamp to the posive (POS, P, +) baery terminal.
3. Connect the black clamp to the negave (NEG, N, -) baery terminal.
4. The digital display will show the open-circuit voltage of the baery. NOTE: If
ĚŝƐƉůĂLJis blank, see Troubleshoong.

OPERATION
ng of ba ery to be tested. Round down to the nearest 100 (e.g.,
round 650 CCA to 600). NOTE: If CCA ra ng is not shown on the ba ery, use the
following es mates:
NOTE: A ba ery will test lower in cold temperature than in warm temperature. For
more accurate results when tes ply CCA ra ng by
0.6 (e.g., 800 CCA ra ng x 0.6 = 500 test CCA).
6. Press CCA buon repeatedly to set CCA test value. Each press will change the
display in 100 CCA increments from 300 – 1000 (999) CCA.
7. Press and release the 125A TEST bu on. Tester will beep to signal start of test.
Load will be applied for up to 10 seconds during which me the digital display
will show ba ery voltage while under load.
8. Another beep will signal when the test is complete. Assess test result as follows:
9. Remove clamps from ba ery.

CHARGING SYSTEM TEST
CAUTION: DO NOT press the 125A TEST buon during this test
1. Connect the red clamp to the posive (POS, P, +) baery terminal.
2. Connect the black clamp to the negave (NEG, N, -) baery terminal.
3.
The digital display will show the open-circuit voltage of the baery. NOTE: If

4. Start the engine and let it run unl it reaches normal operang temperature.
5.
Turn o all lights and accessories, then rev the engine to approximately 1500 RPM.
6. Read the voltage on the display and assess the test as follows:
7. Remove clamps from baery.
DISPLAY RESULT
Voltage Reading < 13.5V Charging voltage is low - Check for poor/loose connecons, wiring
and/or a faulty alternator.

15V Charging system is good.
Voltage Reading > 15V Charging voltage is high—check for a faulty regulator.

STARTER SYSTEM TEST
CAUTION: DO NOT press the 125A TEST buon during this test
1. Connect the red clamp to the posive (POS, P, +) baery terminal.
2. Connect the black clamp to the negave (NEG, N, -) baery terminal.
3. The digital display will show the open-circuit voltage of the baery. NOTE: If
display is blank, see Troubleshoong.
4. Perform a Load Test – see BATTERY LOAD TEST secon. Note: Proceed to next step
only if the baery is good. If the test results in a weak or bad baery, tesng the
starter will not work.
5. Using the load voltage obtained above, nd the corresponding minimum cranking
voltage on the table below.
Note: For engines less than 300 CID (~5.0 L), use the next to lower minimum cranking
volts on the table. For example, if load voltage is 11 Volts, use 10.3 V instead of 10.6 V.
6. Disable the ignion so that the engine will not start (refer to vehicle’s manual).
7. Have an assistant crank the engine. Note the voltage reading on the display during
cranking.
8. Use the cranking voltage from the step above and the minimum crank voltage
obtained from step 5 to assess the test as follows:
9. Remove clamps from baery.
DISPLAY RESULT
Cranking Voltage < Min Crank Voltage
Starng system is weak – Check for poor/loose connecons,

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Display shows an “L”
during the load test.
Load Voltage is below 7 Volts
during the baery load test.
Charge and re-test baery. If result is
the same, the baery is bad and should
be replaced.
Display shows an “H”
during the load test.
Load Voltage is above 15 Volts
during the baery load test.
Make sure the baery voltage is 12V. If
result is the same, the baery is bad
and should be replaced.
Display shows “Er 1”
during the load test.
Baery tester or relay may be
defecve.
Re-check all connecons are correct. If
result is the same, the baery tester is
defecve and should be replaced.
Display shows “Er 2”
during the load test.
Baery tester or relay may be
defecve.
Disconnect the baery tester; it should
be replaced.
All 3 LEDs are on aer
tesng.
Baery is < 12V before tesng
or < 7V under load.
Ensure the baery is 12V.
Charge and re-test baery. If result is
the same, the baery is bad and should
be replaced.
The display is blank.
The tester is not connected to a
baery OR the voltage of the
tested baery is too low for the
tester to read.
Clean terminals and rock clamps back
and forth to ensure proper connecon
to baery. If display screen is sll blank,
recharge and retest baery. If the same
issue persists, replace the baery.
