PRODUCT FUNCTION
Battery test analyses a battery’s healthy status by calculating the actual cold cranking capability of the battery and comparing this against its rated (new) capacity. This provides a reliable analysis of the battery’s condition and what maintenance may be required for the battery. It can thereby notify the user when to replace a battery in advance of its ultimate failure.
The Battery test is targeted to analyze the battery condition and calculate the actual cold cranking capability of the battery including its aging extent. This provides reliable analysis evidence for the test and maintenance of the battery. It notifies the user when to replace the battery prior to in-service failure.
The Cranking test is used to test and analyze the starter motor. By testing the actual cranking current and cranking voltage of the starter motor, it is possible to determine the starter motor condition.
The Charging test is to monitor the charging system. Including alternator output and rectifier diode function. This will find out whether the output voltage of the alternator is correct, the rectifier is working and the charge current is normal.

INTERNAL RESISTANCE EXPLANATION
Internal Resistance (IR) is an important factor for accessing a battery’s
capability. When a battery’s internal resistance exceeds a specific value, the
engine can’t be started. The normal IR value of cars should be less than 10mW,
but there will be differences between different battery types and those with
greater or lesser CCA.
Normally, for the same kind of batteries, the lower the IR, the healthier the
battery is, (short circuit excepted).
VOLTAGE EXPLANATION
It is impossible for the voltage of the battery to show 100%. The maximum value is normally 98% even after just being charged.
- 98% Charged = Battery voltage above 12.59V
- 75% Charged = Battery voltage 12.45V
- 50% Charged = Battery voltage 12.15V
- Discharged condition = Battery voltage less than 12.00V
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
If testing batteries of low-frequency use, it is necessary to cycle (charge and discharge) the battery several times before testing, normally 3-5 times will achieve a reliable test result. Only after cycling the battery can the chemical properties of the battery be restored. This is particularly important after long periods of no use. If after 3-5 times of battery charge and discharge, the battery health state is still lower than 60%, battery replacement should be considered.
1. To extend battery life, Low use batteries, should be recharged every 2
months.
2. Please turn off the engine before testing.
3. When charging is finished, do not test immediately. Wait at least 10
minutes to allow the battery charge to stabilize, then test. Even when testing
an in-vehicle battery, after the
engine is turned off (for the most accurate results) wait 10 minutes before
testing.
4. In general, if the battery voltage is below 12.40V, recharge it.
BEFORE TESTING
Before testing, use a wire brush (not included) and alkaline cleaner (not
included) to clean the battery terminals, as any surface resistance on the
terminal will negatively affect the test result.
Before testing an in-vehicle battery, ensure the ignition key is turned off.
Make sure there is no power drain from any other vehicle electronics and keep
the car doors closed so interior lights do not illuminate.
Attach the red test clip to the battery positive terminal, the black test clip
to the battery negative terminal. Note: Tester has automatic reverse polarity
protection, if accidentally disconnected it will not cause any adverse
effects.
In order to ensure a good electrical connection with no resistance, please
wiggle the test clips on the terminal posts a few times when connecting.
The tester draws its operating power from the battery being tested; it will
only operate when connected to a battery with more than 6 volts available. T
battery analyzer will not operate if connected to a dead flat battery.

Loaded Testing ****
Loaded Volt Test takes approx. 3 seconds, then it hints “Step on the
accelerator to increase engine rotation speed”
Operate accordingly to increase the engine rotating speed to 2500rpm or above,
and keep for 5 seconds.
The tester starts the charging volt test after it has detected an increase in
rpm.
After the test is finished, the tester displays the effective charging volts, ripple test result, and charging test result.
Cranking Test
Loaded 14.16V
Unloaded 14.39V
Ripple 15mV
Charging Normal
NOTE: If no increase in rpm is detected, it is the fault of the
alternator regulator or the connection with the battery has failed. The tester
will try 3 times to detect, if still failed, it will skip the increased rpm
detect, and the test result displays “No Volt Output”. See below :
Check the connection between alternator and battery, then retest. Charging
Test Result:
-
Charging Volt: Normal
The charging system shows the generator output normal, no problem was detected. -
Charging Volt: Low
The charging volt of the charging system is low.
Check the drive belt of the alternator to see whether it is slipping or has runoff.
Check the connection between the alternator and battery.
If both the drive belt and the connection are in good condition, follow the manufacturer’s suggestion to eliminate alternator fault. -
Charging Volt: High
Alternator output volt is high.
Since most of the vehicle alternators use an internal regulator, the alternator assembly has to be replaced. (Some old-style cars are using an external
regulator, then directly replace the regulator.)
The normal high volt of the voltage regulator is a maximum of 14.7±0.5V. If the charging volt is too high, it will overcharge the battery. Therefore the battery life will be shortened and troubles will be caused. -
No Volt Output:
No alternator volt output is detected. Check the alternator connection cable and the belt whether are in sound condition. -
Diode Test:
Through the test of charging the current ripple, the 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 faulty diode.
