3.1. Battery Quick Test
This mode provides a rough determination of the battery's cold start current based on its capacity. It's a quick way to get an initial assessment of the battery's health.

3.2. Accurate Battery Test
For a more precise evaluation, input the accurate cold-start current parameters (e.g., CCA, DIN, JIS, IEC) of the battery under test. The tester will then provide a detailed judgment of the battery's condition.

3.3. Cranking Test (Start System Load)
This test assesses the vehicle's starting ability. After ignition, the tester displays the starting voltage. A test value showing the starting voltage higher than 9.6V (e.g., 14.24V) indicates good starting ability.

3.4. Max Load Test
To perform a maximum load test, navigate to the 'Max Load Test' option in the main menu. Follow the on-screen prompts, which may include instructions to increase engine speed (e.g., up to 2.5K-3K rpm) and press 'OK' to proceed.

3.5. Charging System Test
To test the charging system, select the 'Charge System' option from the main menu. The tester will guide you through the process, which may involve increasing engine speed to a specified range (e.g., 2.5K-3K rpm) and pressing 'OK' to initiate the test.

4. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the BT82 in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
- Cable Care: Inspect the test leads and clamps regularly for any signs of damage or wear. Replace if necessary.
- Battery (Internal): The device is powered by the vehicle battery during testing. No internal user-replaceable batteries are mentioned for the device itself.
5. Troubleshooting
- "Line Clip Contact Bad" Reminder: If this message appears, ensure that the red and black clamps are securely and correctly attached to the positive and negative battery terminals, respectively. Clean any corrosion from the battery terminals if present.
- No Display/No Power:
- Verify that the clamps are connected to a 12V or 24V battery.
- Check for secure connections to the battery terminals.
- Ensure the battery itself has sufficient charge to power the tester.
- Inaccurate Readings:
- Ensure battery terminals are clean.
- Confirm that the correct battery type and parameters (e.g., CCA) are entered for accurate tests.
- Make sure the battery is at a stable temperature for testing.
