RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
1. Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal
battery operation. For this reason, it is of utmost importance that each time before using your tester, you read these
instructions carefully and follow instructions by battery maker as well.
2. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer
and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Observe cautionary markings
on these items.
12Volts BATTERY ANALYSIS
Click "ENTER" & wait for 10 seconds of load. Load test results will be:
1. OK (GREEN LED LIGHT): Battery capacity is good. May or may not be fully charged. Determine state of charge
by checking specifi c gravity (use hydrometer). If gravity is less than full charge, check for possible charging system
trouble or electrical drain. Recharge battery to full charge.
2. OK BUT WEAK (GREEN+YELLOW LED LIGHT): Review the comparison chart of load test result on the meter
cover to see if this battery is "OK" or not. If it is "OK", go up to 1ST "OK" state. If it is not, go down to 3rd "WEAK"
state.
3. WEAK (YELLOW LED LIGHT): Battery capacity is unsatisfactory. Battery may be either: (1) defective or (2) partly
discharged. To determine which, check specifi c gravity. If gravity is over 1.225, battery is considered defective.
If gravity is under 1.225, recharge battery and re-test. If cell-to-cell gravity varies more than 0.025 (25 points),
cell trouble may exist. If charging does not bring gravity to full charge level, the battery is either sulfated or has lost
active material.
4. BAD (RED LED LIGHT): Battery may be defective (e.g. a bad cell).
5. DIGITAL LED CODE DISPLAY «c.b»:
• If the battery volts is under 12.3V, «c.b» (Charge battery) will be shown on LED display. Please fully
charge the battery before test. After charging, please wait 15-30 minutes to let the voltage stable & make load
test. If reading is still below 12.3V with «c.b», the battery should be replaced immediately.
• If the battery volts is above 13.2V, «c.b» (Charge battery) will be shown on LED display. While in
making load test connected with battery from vehicle, please turn off the engine & turn on the head light in a second
to wait the battery voltage under 13.2V, and then turn off the head light to test the battery.
• In a battery that has just fi nished its charging cycle, the voltage is unstable. Therefore it is recommended
to wait for 15-30 minutes, until the voltage is below 13,2 V, before performing a load test."
