OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Caution! This Battery Tester becomes very hot during use. Touching it will result in serious
burns.
Button C: Test Start (Load Switch)
Button E: Selecting the cold start current
Possible 9 steps for selecting the cold start current:
200 - 300 - 400 - 500 - 600 - 700 - 800 - 900 - 999 Ampere
Testing the Battery
Note: The temperature of the battery will affect the testing data. It will test lower when cold than
when warm. Never test or charge a frozen battery.
Caution! Wear rubber gloves (not included) whenever working with the Battery Tester or
batteries.
Note: Before any testing, make sure to clean the battery contacts.
1. Make sure the vehicle is not running. Connect the red (+) Clamp to the positive
(+) terminal post on the battery. Connect the black (-) Clamp to the negative (-) terminal post
on the battery.
2. Check the Battery Tester Led Window (D) to determine effectiveness of charge. If the
Battery Tester does not register and no display is seen, double check that the Clamps are
connected to the proper terminal posts. Make certain a clean connection has been made
between the Clamps and terminal posts.
3. Press button (E) to select the cold start current of the battery.
The selected cold start current is indicated on the display for a short time.
The lowest value for the cold start current is 200A and increases by 100 Amps each time the
button (E) is pressed. Caution: Please do not confuse cold start current with battery capacity
(e.g., 60Ah), the value for the cold start current is indicated on the battery.

4. Press the test button (C), the test procedure is shown on the display. The devise shows the
test result after about ten seconds.
Attention: Do not test more than three times in a five minute period. Allow one minute for cool
down between tests.
Note: If a battery does not have the charge expected, have a qualified technician check the
specific gravity. There may be an electrical drain or charging system trouble. If charging does
not raise the specific gravity, you may have a defective battery. Analyzing test results by color
display: The Battery Tester will measure battery output/ charge in two ways. The Condition
Indicator will indicate a color telling you the general condition of the battery.
Note: If a battery does not have the charge expected, have a qualified technician check the
specific gravity. There may be an electrical drain or charging system trouble. If charging does
not raise the specific gravity, you may have a defective battery.

and make a new test. If the new test is without significant charge again, then the battery is
defective.
Testing the Charging System
Warning: When testing a system in a car/truck, the vehicle must be on a flat, dry surface.
The transmission must be in park and the emergency brake engaged.
1. Connect the red (+) Clamp to the positive (+) terminal post on the battery. Connect the black
(-) Clamp to the negative (-) terminal post on the battery.
2. With the engine off, check the Battery Tester LED Window (D) to determine effectiveness of
charge.
3. If the Battery Tester does not register and no display is seen, double check that the Clamps
are connected to the proper terminal posts. Make certain a clean connection has been made
between the Clamps and terminal posts.
4. Start the engine and let it run. Without using the Test Start Button, observe the voltage
readout when the engine speed reaches between 1200 to 1500 RPM (normal idle speed).
Once you push the Test Start Button, then will into charging system mode and meantime the
Test Start Button is disabled.
5. Note meter reading with all electrical accessories off. One of three conditions will apply:
a) Voltage less than 13.5 volts indicates faulty alternator.
b) Voltage between 13.5 volts and 14.4 volts indicates charging system is good.
c) Voltage over 14.4 volts indicates faulty voltage regulator.
6. When charging system test is complete, remove Black Clamp (-) from battery first; then
remove Red Clamp (+).

Testing the Starter
This Test identifies excessive starter current draw, which makes starting difficult and shortens
battery life. Perform battery load test and proceed only if the battery tests good.
Engine should be at normal operating temperature.
1. For this check-up, the engine has to be in working temperature and the battery has to be in
perfect condition.
2. Connect the red clamp to the positive terminal and the black clamp with the negative
terminal.
3. Start the Battery Condition Test (descripted above).
4. Monitor the measured voltage during the test.
5. If the voltage keeps decreasing after approx. 10 sec., this check-up is not available.
6. Take notes of the measured voltage, if it levels at a particular reading after approx. 10 sec.
Caution: Do not operate the load switch (A) during the next step 7.
7. Start your vehicle (a second person is necessary) and compare the measured voltage
during the start with the measurement from step 6.
Example
•If you read a stress test measurement of approx. 10.4V (step 6) and a measurement of 9.7
Volt while starting your vehicle, there is no problem with your ignition system.
•In case of a lower reading than 9.7 Volt, your Starter System is malfunctioning. Compare the
data from the following or the voltage table on the front of the battery tester.
