Test a new, premium quality 12V SLA C20 battery to confirm tester's Ah accuracy.
Simulates 20-hour discharge via pulsed frequency load to measure available Ah capacity.
Hold tester steady during test. Record Ah reading and compare to battery table; act if capacity falls below 65%.
Battery temperature and charge state affect Ah capacity, potentially varying it by up to 50%.
Use temperature strip for measurement, allow acclimatisation. Respect 'ALLOW TO COOL' prompts.
Check battery date codes to avoid stocking old, discharged units; self-discharge is 3% per month.
New batteries should show >12.5VDC (no load). Suspect batteries <12.30VDC should be returned.
Charge SLA batteries at 13.2VDC-14.4VDC (optimum 13.8VDC) for full charge.
Maintain batteries between 20°C-25°C. Heat reduces battery life and Ah capacity.
