TESTING PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:To prevent overheating, allow the tester to
cool for 5 minutes between tests.
NOTE: This product does not require assembly.
NOTE: You may notice a slight burning smell during the first
few uses of this product. This is normal and will fade.
1. Turn the ignition OFF. Turn OFF all accessories that may
place load on battery.
2. Clean the battery terminals.
3. Clip the Red Clamp to the Positive (+) battery terminal.
4. Clip the Black Clamp to the Negative (-) battery terminal.
6V BATTERY TESTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. After the proper preparation steps have been taken, read
the meter and confirm battery voltage is in the green “OK”
area. See image of meter below.
2. Press and hold the load switch ON for a maximum of 10
seconds. Read the meter while the load switch is ON. The
needle should remain in the green area.
12V BATTERY TESTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Check the Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) of the battery being
tested.
2. Connect the tester as described in the Testing Preparation
Instructions.
3. Press and hold the load switch ON for a maximum of 10
seconds. Read the meter while the load switch is ON.

BATTERY ANALYSIS TABLE
TESTING THE CHARGING SYSTEM
WARNING:Be cautious of moving parts while the
engine is running.
1. Connect the tester as described in the Testing Preparation
Instructions.
2. Turn off all lights and electrical accessories. Run the
engine at 1,200 to 1,500 RPM.
NOTE: DO NOT press the load switch.
3. Read the meter voltage. Meter should be within the green
“OK” band.
4. Turn on the high beams and turn the A/C blower on high.
Meter should remain within the green “OK” band.
5. If the meter does not read within the green “OK” band, the
charging system is not operating correctly.
STARTER MOTOR TEST
NOTE: The engine must be at normal operating temperature
to perform this test.
1. Perform the battery load test; if the battery is in weak or
bad condition, this test cannot be performed. Record the
exact voltage of the load test.
2. Determine the minimum cranking voltage using the voltage
recorded in step 1.
Starter Test Voltage
LOAD VOLTAGE 10.2 10.4 10.6 10.8 11.0 11.2 11.4
MINIMUM CRANKING
VOLTAGE 7.7 8.2 8.7 9.2 9.7 10.2 10.6
NOTE: If possible, disable the vehicle’s ignition system. The
starter motor test is most accurate if the starter cranks for
2-5 seconds.
3. Crank the engine and record the voltage reading.
4. If the cranking voltage is below the minimum cranking
shown in the Start Test Voltage Table, the starter current
draw is excessive. This may be due to bad connections or
a failing starter motor.
