1 Features
1. The Battery Tester is designed for measuring the
internal impedance and open circuit voltage of the
secondary battery including Nickel-metal hydride
battery ( NiMH),Nickel-cadmium
battery(NiCd),Lithium-ion battery(Li-ion), Alkaline
battery and lead-Acid battery.
2. AC four-terminal method to measure the internal
impedance by eliminating lead impedance and
contact impedance to get the accurate results.
3. Multi-display to show the internal impedance, voltage
and clock of the battery simultaneously.
4. It has 99 sets of composite comparator function,
which can be set at impedance and voltage values
to get the reliable detection of battery
deterioration.
5. Pin type leads, which can easily contact the battery
electrodes supplied as standard to get more
accurate 4-terminal measurement.

3 Safety Precaution
CAUTION
Take extreme care for the following
conditions while measuring.
1. Measuring voltage over 20V as it may cause
human body electricity conduction.
2. Do not measure voltage, current under humid or
wet environment. If any unusual condition of test
leads’ send
3. (Metal part). And attachment of the meter, such as
breakage, deformation, fracture, foreign
substance, No display, etc., do not conduct any
measuring.
4. Do not contact any exposed metal (conductive)
parts, such as end of test lead, jack, fixing object,
circuit etc,.
5. Keep you insulated from the object waiting for
measuring.
6. Do not operate the meter under the environment
with explosive gas
7. (material), combustible gas (material) steam or
filled with dust.
8. In order to avoid reading incorrect data, you have
to replace the batteries immediately when the
symbol BAT appears on the LCD.
9. In order to avoid the damage caused by contamination
and static electricity, do not touch the circuit board before
you take any adequate action.

7 Operation:
CAUTION
Do not attempt to measure DC
voltage exceeding 60V。Do not
attempt to measure AC
voltages, This could result in
jury or damage to the unit
Do not attempt to measure the
voltage of a generator. This
would result in an AC voltage
being applied to the voltage
generating output terminals,
which is dangerous.
After measuring a high voltage
battery, before continuing to
measure a low voltage battery
first short the measurement
leads together. This will
discharge the DC-elimination
capacitor which is connected
across the leads. Otherwise an
excess voltage may be applied
to the low voltage battery, which
is dangerous.
