How to Use

Tester will test each battery according to the selected actual system standard and rating marked on the battery, to get the accurate results.

1. Before Test

The engine and all other accessory loads must be OFF during test in order to have accurate results. Turn on the vehicle headlamps for 2-3 minutes until the battery voltage drops back to normal value if the battery is just fully charged.

2. Steps

1. a. Connection: The Red (+) Positive Battery clamp is connected to the (+) positive battery terminal, and the BLACK (-) Negative Battery Clamp is connected to the (-) negative battery terminal. Ensure that the clamps have a firm, secure grip on the battery terminals for accurate results.
2. b. Select Battery Type: Press the [Up Arrow] or [Down Arrow] to select the "Battery Type" (specified on the battery rating label), then press "ENTER" to continue.
