Connect to a Battery
Proper connection is crucial for accurate testing:
- Clean the battery posts thoroughly on the top or side of the battery.
- Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal and the black clamp to the negative (-) terminal.
- Gently rock the clamp back and forth to ensure a firm and secure connection with the battery post.
- Once the clamp is correctly connected, enable Bluetooth on your mobile device's APP to establish a matching connection between the device and the APP.
Visual Description: An illustration shows battery clamps being connected to battery terminals. The red clamp connects to the positive (+) terminal, and the black clamp connects to the negative (-) terminal. Text emphasizes ensuring a firm connection and then connecting via Bluetooth.
Battery Test
Perform a comprehensive battery health check:
- On the APP homepage, create battery information by filling in the "battery name", selecting "inside or outside the car", "battery type", "battery standard", and entering the rated capacity.
- Navigate to "Battery Test" at the bottom of the APP to access the history page.
- Tap "Perform Battery Test" to initiate the test.
- View detailed test results on the screen, including battery state of health, test/rated capacity, test voltage, battery state of charge, and test resistance.
Battery Test Results Summary
Visual Description: A screen displays test results. A graph shows "Test Time" on the X-axis and "Test Voltage" on the Y-axis, with an example reading of "Starter Voltage 9.36V" and "Start-up time 1.18s". Key metrics are presented: "State of Health 57% (Battery health status)", "State of Charge 35%", "Test/Rated CCA 637/1100", "Test Voltage 12.08V", "Test Resistance 562mΩ". Buttons for "Share Results" and "Delete Results" are visible.
No. | Test Results | Result Description |
---|---|---|
1 | GOOD BATTERY | The battery is in good condition. |
2 | GOOD-RECHARGE | The battery is in good condition but low current. Fully charge the battery and return it to service. |
3 | CHARGE & RETEST | Fully charge the battery and retest. Failure to fully charge the battery before testing may result in inaccurate results. If you still get CHARGE & RETEST message after you fully charge the battery, please replace it. |
4 | REPLACE BATTERY | The battery is almost dead or the connection between the battery and battery cable is poor. Replace the battery and retest; or disconnect the battery cables and retest the battery using the out-of-vehicle test before replacing it. |
5 | BAD CELL-REPLACE | The battery may be damaged such as broken cell or short circuit. Replace the battery and retest. |
6 | 24 VOLT SYSTEM | The battery is 24V. |
Cranking Test
Assess the vehicle's starting system performance:
- Click "Cranking Test" at the bottom of the APP to enter the history page. Alternatively, select "In-vehicle Battery" during initial creation and proceed to the result page after the "Battery Test".
- Click "PRESS FOR CRANKING TEST".
- View the test results, including start voltage and start time, on the screen.
- If "In-vehicle Battery" was selected during creation, you can click the "Charging Test" button to continue with the charging system test.
Cranking Test Results Summary
Visual Description: A screen displays cranking test results. A graph shows "Test Time" on the X-axis and "Starter Voltage" on the Y-axis, with example data points "2024-04-12 10:40:26", "Starting voltage (v) 9.36", and "Start-up time (s) 1.18". The status "CRANKING NORMAL" is indicated. Buttons for "Share Results" and "Delete Results" are present.
No. | Test Results | Result Description |
---|---|---|
1 | CRANKING NORMAL | The starter voltage is normal and the battery is fully charged. |
2 | LOW VOLTAGE | The starter voltage is low and the battery is fully charged. |
3 | CHARGE BATTERY | The starter voltage is too low and the battery is discharged. Fully charge the battery and repeat the starter system test. |
4 | REPLACE BATTERY | The battery must be replaced before testing the startup system. |
5 | NO START | No vehicle start detected. |
6 | CRANKING SKIPPED | No startup detected. |
Charging Test
Evaluate the vehicle's charging system:
- Click "Charging Test" at the bottom of the APP to access the history page. Alternatively, select "In-vehicle Battery" during initial creation and proceed to the result page after the "Cranking Test".
- Start the engine as prompted on the screen. The final test results will be categorized into 7 types.
Charging Test Results Summary
No. | Test Results | Result Description |
---|---|---|
1 | NO PROBLEMS | The system shows that the alternator output is normal. |
2 | NO OUTPUT | Alternator output is not detected. Check all connections to the alternator, especially the battery. If connections are loose or cables are severely corroded, clean or replace and retest. If the belt and connections are working fine, replace the belt alternator. |
3 | LOW OUTPUT | The alternator cannot provide enough power to power the system's electrical load and charge the battery. Check the belt to make sure the alternator is turning when the engine is running. Replace damaged or slipping belts and retest. Check the connection between the alternator and battery. |
4 | HIGH OUTPUT | The alternator output voltage exceeds normal limits. Check whether the test cable is loose and whether the grounding is normal. If there are no connection issues, replace the regulator. Most alternators have a built-in regulator that requires the alternator to be replaced. In older vehicles that use an external voltage regulator, you may only need to replace the voltage regulator. |
5 | EXCESSIVE RIPPLE | Excessive AC ripple is detected. One or more diodes in the alternator are not working or the stator is damaged. |
6 | CHARGE BATTERY | The starter voltage is too low and the battery is discharged. Fully charge the battery and repeat the charging system test. |
7 | REPLACE BATTERY | The battery must be replaced before testing the charging system. |
