Product Information

Utilizing the latest conductivity testing technology and reverse polarity protection, the 12V-24V battery tester provides critically important information about the condition of the battery being tested, for quick diagnosis of battery and charging problems.

Compatibility

Battery type and CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) values are indicated on the battery label. Please refer to them before use. The tester supports the following battery types: VRLA, GEL, AGM, EFB, STD.

Safety Instructions

1. This tester should be used in accordance with the instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the type of work being performed. Using the tester for purposes other than intended may lead to hazardous situations.
2. Before testing, ensure that the battery terminals are clean, as grease and dust can lead to errors in the test results.
3. Wear safety glasses when working with batteries.
4. To avoid electric shock, ensure that the insulation layer of the battery terminals is in normal condition (not damaged, not exposed, and not disconnected).
5. Testing should be conducted in a well-ventilated area. Explosive and toxic gases may be released during testing.
6. Keep hair, hands, and clothing, as well as tester cables, away from moving parts such as fan blades and belts.
7. Do not store the tester in places accessible to children.
8. Do not place the tester near the engine or exhaust pipe to avoid damage from high temperatures during car engine operation.
9. Do not smoke, light a fire, or use matches near the battery during testing.
10. Do not remove the battery clamps during testing.

How to Start the Tester

The tester will check each battery according to the selected system standard and parameters on the battery to obtain accurate results.

Before Testing

For accurate results during testing, the engine and all other power sources should be turned off. Turn on the car's headlights for 2-3 minutes until the battery voltage drops to a normal value, if the battery is fully charged.

Steps

1. Connect the red positive (+) clamp of the battery tester to the positive (+) terminal of the battery, and the black negative (-) clamp to the negative (-) terminal of the battery. Ensure that the clamps are firmly and securely attached to the battery terminals for accurate results.
2. Press the [up] or [down] buttons to select the BATTERY TYPE (indicated on the battery label), then confirm by pressing "ENTER".
3. Press the [up] or [down] buttons to select the appropriate test standard (indicated on the battery label), then confirm by pressing "ENTER".
4. Press and hold the [up] or [down] buttons to select the battery's EDC/CCA value (indicated on the battery label or in the EDC/CCA parameter table).
5. Press "ENTER" to start the battery test.
6. Test results are displayed below.
