Product Summary

Product Profile

KW208 Battery Tester adopts the state-of-the -art conductance testing technology in the word to easily, quickly and accurately measure the actual cold cranking amps capability of the vehicle starting battery, healthy state of the battery itself, and common fault of the vehicle starting system and charging system, which can help maintenance personnel to find the find the problem quickly and accurately, thus to achieve quick vehicle repair.

1. Test all automotive cranking lead acid battery, including ordinary lead acid battery, AGM flat plate battery, AGM spiral battery, and Gel battery, etc.
2. Directly detect bad cell battery.
3. Feature reverse polarity protection; reverse connection may not damage the tester or affect the vehicle and battery.

5. Testing standards cover the majority of world’s battery standards, such as CCA, BCI, CA,MCA, JIS, DIN, SAE.
6. Support multi-languages, customer can select different language package, which includes:
   English, German, French, Dutch, Russian, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese

Product Function

KW208 battery tester features the following functions: battery test, cranking test, charging test and other additional functions.
Battery test mainly aims to analyze the battery healthy status to calculate the actual cold cranking capability of the battery of the battery and the aging extent, which provide reliable analysis evidence for the test and maintenance of the battery. If may notify the user to replace battery in advance when the battery gets aged.
Cranking test is used to test and analyze the starting motor. Testing the actual required cranking current and cranking voltage of the starting motor is helpful to determine whether the starting motor works properly or not. If the starting malfunction may cause an increased starting loaded torque; or rotor friction of the starting motor generates an increasing friction of the starting motor itself. Charging test is to check and analyze the charging system, including generator, rectifier, rectifier diode, etc., thus to find out whether the output voltage of the generator is normal, the rectifier diode works properly and the abnormal, it will lead to over charge or incomplete charge of the battery, thus cause quick damage to the battery and greatly shorten the life of other loaded appliance.

Battery Test

After entering battery test program, tester displays Main Menu, Tester will display the following contents in a sequence, select accordingly.

Battery In-vehicle or Out-of-Vehicle
From the startup screen, or press EXIT button to enter Main Menu. Press UP/DOWN key to select the battery location, in vehicle or out of vehicle, then press ENTER key to confirm.

Battery Test in Vehicle

When surface charge detected by the tester, it prompts “Surface charge, tum lights on”, Tum lights on as prompted to eliminate battery surface charge, tester will then display the following messages in a sequence.
Now the tester detects the surface charge has been eliminated, turn lights off as prompted, then press ENTER key, the tester will recover automatic test

Select Battery Type
After the battery charge status selected, tester will prom! to select battery type, i.e. Regular Flooded, AGM Flat plate or AGM Spiral, Gel and EFB battery, Press UP/DOWN key to select battery type, then press OK key to confirm.

From the [Select Type] screen, Press UP/DOWN key to select the Standard, then press ENTER key to confirm.

Rating range as following:

Input correct test standard and rating, press ENTER key, tester starts to test, and dynamic interface “Under measurement…” prompted. See below:

It take around 1 second to display the battery test result.

Good Battery

Good Recharge

Replace

Bad Cell, Replace

Charge, Retest

Unstable battery shall be recharged and Re tested to avoid error. If same test result appears after recharge and Re test, the battery is regarded as damaged, replace the battery.

Attention: if replaced resulted from IN-VEHICLE mode, it might be the reason that vehicle cable is not well connected with the battery. And sure to cut of the cables and treat as the battery under out-of-vehicle before making the decision to replace battery.
NOTE: After testing, if need to Exit, press EXIT key to directly exit to the startup interface.
