KONNWei KW208 Car Battery Tester
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.
- Test all automotive cranking lead acid battery, including ordinary lead acid battery, AGM flat plate battery, AGM spiral battery, and Gel battery, etc.
- Directly detect bad cell battery.
- Feature reverse polarity protection; reverse connection may not damage the tester or affect the vehicle and battery.
- Directly test the battery with loss of electricity, full charge is not required before testing.
- Testing standards cover the majority of world’s battery standards, such as CCA, BCI, CA,MCA, JIS, DIN, SAE.
- 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.

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
