Operation Introduction
Before Test:
- Before you test a battery in a vehicle, turn off the ignition, all accessories, and loads. Close all of the vehicle’s doors and trunk lid.
- Make sure the battery terminals are clean. Use a wire brush to clean them, if necessary.
- Connect the RED (+) Positive Battery Clamp to the (+) positive battery terminal, and connect the BLACK (-) Negative Battery Clamp to the (-) negative battery terminal. Ensure that the clamps are securely attached to the correct terminals.
- Open the Bluetooth on the mobile phone.
- Test Introduction
- BATTERY TEST: Display SOH (State of Health), SOC (State of Charge), Voltage, Current, Rating, and the readable analysis results on App;
- CRANKING TEST: Analyze the actual cranking voltage and the cranking time to help you quickly figure out the whole state of the starting system;
- CHARGING TEST: Test different parts of the charging system, including generator, rectifier, rectifier diode, and so on for a reliable charging volt value.
*Note: This tester works best if the battery connectors have been removed and the battery posts have been cleaned. Any corrosion between the tester clamps and the battery connectors, or between the battery connectors and the battery posts, will degrade the tester’s efficiency.
