INSTRUCTIONS FOR

DIGITAL BATTERY & ALTERNATOR TESTER 12V

MODEL NO: BT105

Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these instructions,

and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USE

THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR

PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.

1. SAFETY

DANGER! BE AWARE, LEAD-ACID BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR

THIS REASON, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, EACH TIME YOU USE THE

BATTERY TESTER.

Follow these instructions and those published by the battery and vehicle manufacturers, and the maker of any equipment you intend to use in

the vicinity of the battery. Remember to review warning marks on all products and on engines.

1.1. Personal Safety

WARNING! Wear approved eye protection. Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment. A full range of Personal Protective

Equipment is available from your Sealey dealer.

9Remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit

current high enough to melt or weld a ring, which would cause severe burns.

9Ensure that hands and clothing are clear of fan blades and other moving or hot engine parts. Remove ties and ensure that belts

cannot become entangled.

9Ensure that there is another person within hearing distance and is able to come to your aid should a problem arise when working

near a lead-acid battery.

9 Havefreshwaternearbyincasebatteryacidcontactsskinorclothing;ushaffectedareaimmediately.Ifacidenterseyes,ush 

immediately with clean running water for a minimum of 15 minutes, seek medical attention.

8DO NOTsmokeorallowasparkorameinthevicinityofthebatteryorengine.

1.2. General Safety

9Familiarise yourself with the application, limitations and potential hazards of the tester. Also refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s hand

book. IF IN ANY DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

9 Ensurethatthetesterisingoodconditionbeforeuse.Ifinanydoubtdonotusetheunitandcontactaqualiedelectrician.

9Only use recommended attachments and parts. To use unapproved items may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.

9Keep tools and other items away from the engine and ensure that you can see the battery and working parts of engine clearly.

9Determine the system voltage before using the tester.

9 Ifthetesterreceivesasharpknockorblowtheunitmustbecheckedbyaqualiedserviceagentbeforeusing.

9Clean battery terminals before using the tester.

9Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.

8DO NOTdisassemblethetesterforanyreason.Thetestermustonlybecheckedbyqualiedservicepersonnel.

WARNING! To prevent the risk of sparking, short circuit and possible explosion DO NOT drop metal tools in the battery area, or allow

them to touch the battery terminals.

8DO NOT cross-connect tester to battery. Ensure positive (RED) clamp is to positive terminal and negative (black) clamp is to

negative terminal. If battery symbols cannot be distinguished, remember that the negative terminal is the one directly connected to

the vehicle bodywork.

8DO NOT use the tester outdoors, or in damp, or wet locations and DO NOTuseinthevicinityofammableliquidsorgases.

8Ensure there is effective ventilation to prevent a build-up of explosive gases.

8DO NOT use the tester for a task for which it is not designed.

When not in use, store the tester carefully in a safe, dry, childproof location.

9 Modernvehiclescontainextensiveelectronicsystems.YouarerequiredtocheckwiththevehicleManufacturer,foranyspecic

instructions regarding the use of this type of equipment on each vehicle.

Select Charging test and press Enter Key

Note:- Do not shut down the engine during test, all electrical appliances should be switched off, leaving lights etc. on will affect the

test and the accuracy of the results.

The Battery tester will do the following tests in sequence:

Ripple Test

95mV 14.32V

The ripple test will display the real time ripple, it will also show the ripple volts and charging volt values.

It takes approx. 6 seconds for the ripple test. After the ripple test the tester will automatically start the loaded voltage test.

Charging Test

Loaded Testing

*****

Loaded Volt testing takes approx. 3 seconds it will then prompt to increase engine speed.

Charging Test

Increase RPM to 2500 r/min

And keep it 5 seconds

Press Enter to continue.

Increase engine speed to 2500 rev/min or above and maintain for 5 seconds.

The tester will start the charging test after increase in engine speed is detected.

Charging Test

Loaded 14.16V

Unloaded 14.39V

Replace 15mV

Charging Normal

Note: If no increase rev/min detected there is a fault with the alternator or wiring to the battery.

The tester will try 3 more times to detect an increase, if this fails the test result displays “no volt output”

Check the wiring between the alternator and battery and retest.

Charging Test Results

a) Charging Volt: Normal

Charging system shows the alternator output as normal.

b) Charging Volt: Low

Charging voltage of the system is low.

Check alternator drive belt, check the connections between alternator and battery, if all are in good condition follow the

manufactures procedure to eliminate charging fault.

c) Charging Volt: High

The normal maximum high voltage is 14.7+/- 0.5V. If the charging voltage is too high, it will overcharge the battery. This will shorten

the battery life.

d) No Volt: Output

No alternator voltage output is detected. Check the alternator connection cable and belt.

e) Diode Test

When ripple volt is too high it shows that at least one diode is damaged. Check and replace the diode.
