OPERATION AND TEST
Ensure that the area is well ventilated before performing a test.
Make sure that the battery connections are clean. If necessary, clean them
using a wire brush. Any presence of oxidation between the tester terminals and
the battery connectors or between the battery connectors and the battery
terminals reduces the effectiveness of the tester.
If the battery is out of the vehicle:
Connect the negative plug (black) to the negative terminal of the battery.
Connect the positive plug (red) to the positive terminal of the battery.
If the battery is in the vehicle:
As there may be some electricity between the generator and the battery, called
floating electricity, if the battery tester is connected directly to the
battery, only the floating power will be tested, not the power inside the
battery, so the result is inaccurate.
Therefore, before connecting the tester to the battery, it is better to ignite
first, turn on the headlights to remove the floating electricity. After that
make sure that the ignition and the consumers are switched off.
Connect the negative plug (black) to the negative terminal of the battery.
Connect the positive plug (red) to the positive terminal of the battery.
Once the battery tester is well connected to the battery, the display will light on to indicate tester version and battery voltage.

Battery System Standard and Rating: the battery tester will test each
battery according to the selected system and rating.
Use UP/DOWN key to select according to the actual system standard and rating
marked on the battery. See in the below picture, the arrow indicated location.

CRANKING TEST
Cranking test is the Engine ignition test. This test allows to check if the
battery can provide enough power to start the engine. It tests the battery
instant voltage once start the engine.
If cranking voltage value is lower than 9.6V, the result is considered as
abnormal. If the result is higher than 9.6V, the result is considered as
Normal.
Tester prompts as following:

Charging Test
1. Charging Test result: Normal
Charging system shows the generator output normal, no problem detected.
2. Charging Test result: Low
Charging volt of the charging system is low.
Check drive belt of the generator whether slip or running off.
Check the connection between generator and battery is normal or not.
If both of the drive belt and the connection are in good condition, follow the
manufacturer’s suggestion to eliminate generator fault.
3. Charging test result: High
Generator output volt is high. Since most of the vehicle generators are using
internal regulator, the generator assembly has to be replaced.(Some old style
cars are using external regulator, then directly replace the regulator.).
The normal high volt of the voltage regulator is maximum 14.7±0.5V. If
charging volt is too high, it will overcharge the battery. Therefore the
battery life will be shortened and troubles will be caused.
4. No Volt Output:
No generator volt output is detected. Check the generator connection cable and
the belt whether they are normal.
5. Diode Test:
Through the test of charging current ripple, tester will find out whether the
diode is normal or not. When ripple volt is too high, it proves at least one
diode is damaged. Check and replace the diode.
