Operation
Caution!! This Battery Tester becomes very hot during use. Touching it will
result in serious burns.
TESTING THE BATTERY
Note: The temperature of the battery will affect the testing data. It will test lower when
cold than when warm. Never test or charge a frozen battery.
Caution! Wear rubber gloves (not included) whenever working with the Battery
Tester or batteries.
Note: Before any testing, make sure to clean the battery contacts.
1. Make sure the vehicle is not running. Connect the Red Clamp (+) to the positive (+)
terminal post on the battery. Connect the Black Clamp (-) to the negative (-) terminal
post on the battery. Adjust the Set CCA button to correspond with the CCA of the bat-
tery. Push the CCA button (in increments of 100) until the CCA that matches your
battery appears. See FIGURE 1. Round your Battery CCA number DOWN.
2. Check the Battery Tester LED Window (See FIGURE 1) to determine effectiveness of
charge. If the Battery Tester does not register and no display is seen, double check that
the Clamps are connected to the proper terminal posts. Make certain a clean connec-
tion has been made between the Clamps and terminal posts.
3. Hold the Test Start button until a solid and consistent measurement is indicated by the
Battery Tester. A tone should sound once an acceptable reading is attained. Within ten
seconds, while continuing to hold the button, read the meter. Do not test more than
three times in a five minute period. Allow one minute for cool down between tests.
Note: Do not activate the Test Start button for more than ten seconds.
Note: If a battery does not have the charge expected, have a qualified technician check
the specific gravity. There may be an electrical drain or charging system trouble. If
charging does not raise the specific gravity, you may have a defective battery.
