CCA Test Range: 100-2000 (CCA, BCI, CA, MCA, EN, SAE), 100-1400 (DIN, IEC), 26A17-245H52 (JIS), 30-220Ah (GB).

Usage Features:

Language Selection: The tester defaults to English. Users can change the language (e.g., to Polish, German, Russian, Ukrainian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Italian, Dutch, Greek, Bulgarian, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, French, Croatian, Arabic) via the "System Setup" menu.
Quick Test Procedure: Select "Quick Test" from the menu, enter the nominal battery capacity (30-220 Ah), and confirm. The tester will display results such as "GOOD BATTERY" (battery OK), "GOOD RECHARGE" (battery OK, recharge), "REPLACE" (worn out, recommended replacement), "BAD CELL, REPLACE" (defective, replace), or "CHARGE-RETEST" (unstable operation, charge and retest).
In-Vehicle Battery Test: Select "Battery in Vehicle" then "Battery Test." Choose the battery type using arrows and confirm. After approximately 5 seconds, the results will be displayed.
Cranking (Starter) Test: From "Battery in Vehicle," select "Cranking Test," confirm, and start the vehicle engine. The tester automatically completes the test and displays the result. A starting voltage below 9.6V is typically considered incorrect.
Charging (Alternator) Test: From "Battery in Vehicle," select "Charging Test." Follow on-screen instructions:
1. Turn off lights and AC for 10 seconds, press ENTER.
2. Turn off all equipment, increase RPM to 2500-3000 for 10 seconds, press ENTER.
3. Turn on lights and AC to maximum, idle engine for 10 seconds, press ENTER. Results will show "NORMAL" (normal output) or "NO OUTPUT" (no charge, check alternator).
Out-of-Vehicle Battery Test: Select "Out of Vehicle," choose the battery type, and confirm. Results will be displayed after about 5 seconds.
Voltometer Function: Select "Voltometer" to view real-time battery voltage.
Contrast Adjustment: In "System Setup," select "Contrast" and use arrows to adjust the screen contrast.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning: Clean the tester housing with a slightly damp cloth (water) and wipe it dry. Never immerse the tester in water or other liquids.
Clamp Care: Keep the tester clamps clean. If corrosion or patina is present, clean the metal parts with a cleaning agent suitable for copper electrical terminals.
Storage: Store the tester separately to protect it from impacts (e.g., from other tools in a toolbox). The storage area should be shaded, well-ventilated, and protected from unauthorized access, especially by children.
Environmental Safety: Maintain a safe and well-lit work environment, free from obstacles, grease, oil, debris, and other waste.
Safety Precautions: Avoid contact with hot engine parts. Do not smoke or use open flames near fuel, engine, or battery. Be aware that lead-acid batteries produce potentially explosive gases. Avoid contact with electrolyte (sulfuric acid) as it is highly corrosive. Ensure the battery testing area is well-ventilated. Always read and follow the safety instructions provided with the battery.
