Battery Test Results - OTC 3181 Mode D'emploi

BATTERY TEST RESULTS

GOOD - Battery is in good condition and should start the vehicle in any climate.
A WEAK or REPLACE indication may be due to excessive resistance
caused by a bad connection or corrosion between battery cables and the
battery posts. Remove battery cables from battery, connect the tester
directly to the posts and retest.
WEAK - Indicates the battery requires charging. Charge battery at 30 Amps for 5
minutes or at 10 Amps for 15 minutes. Then retest.
RESULTS AFTER CHARGING:
• If battery tests WEAK a second time, this could indicate one or more cells
are bad and battery must be replaced.
• If battery reads GOOD, the battery was not sufficiently charged
during the first test.
REPLACE - Indicates the battery is bad and requires replacement.
