or (Down) key to adjust from F
(Fahrenheit) or C (Celsius). The manual
will be F.
There are several options is the setup program that make each
test different depending upon the shops standards and desires.
Depending upon the choices in conguration there will be additional input
requests during each test. Below are the conguration choices of the BVA-2100
so you will know the options available even though they are not noted in each
test of the manual. They are given here so that you can congure the tester for

VOLTAGE DROP TESTS
During each battery test the BVA-2100 uses various results that are
displayed after each test. The denition of those results are as follows:
• % Charge = an approximate amount of charge the battery is
currently holding. This is based upon the batteries voltage.
• Est. CCA = is the approximate CCA of the fully charged battery.
• GOOD BATTERY = a battery that is good and is charged.
• GOOD NEEDS CHARGE = a battery that is good but is low on
charge.
• MARGINAL BATTERY = a battery that has passed the load
test but the estimated CCA is getting low or the battery is
approaching its end of life.
• CHARGE and RETEST = a battery with insufcient charge to
provide accurate test results.
• BAD BATTERY = a battery that is bad and should be replaced.
A bad battery is a battery that failed the load test or had an
estimated CCA below about 70% of the rated value
