Results: Global display shows internal resistance in milliohms (m?). Detailed display also
shows average cell voltage; analyzer charge or discharge current (in mA); battery
temperature and duration of service.
If the value is above the analyzer’s OhmTest setpoint threshold, the battery fails the
OhmTest and should be replaced. If the battery passes, run the Auto or Prime program on
the battery to determine whether there are other faults.

RunTime
Function: The RunTime program simulates battery run-time by repeatedly running three
different loads until the battery reaches the end-of-discharge setting in the C-Code. These
loads are often called the standby, talk and receive time. Set the load current (as a
