User Manual and Guide to professional battery testing

WARNING

• This manual includes guidelines on the operation of your device and the precautions to follow for your own safety. Ensure it is read carefully before first use and keep it handy for future reference.
• Risk of explosion and fire! A battery being charged can emit explosive gas.
• The battery tester should only be connected to batteries with a rated output voltage of 12V.
• Do not use the battery tester if the cord or terminals are damaged.
• Do not use the battery tester if it has received a severe shock or has been damaged in any way. Do not disassemble the device. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

OPERATION AND TEST

Ensure that the area is well ventilated before performing a test.
Make sure that the battery connections are clean. If necessary, clean them using a wire brush. Any presence of oxidation between the tester terminals and the battery connectors or between the battery connectors and the battery terminals reduces the effectiveness of the tester.

If the battery is out of the vehicle:
Connect the negative plug (black) to the negative terminal of the battery.
Connect the positive plug (red) to the positive terminal of the battery.

If the battery is in the vehicle:
As there may be some electricity between the generator and the battery, called floating electricity, if the battery tester is connected directly to the battery, only the floating power will be tested, not the power inside the battery, so the result is inaccurate.
Therefore, before connecting the tester to the battery, it is better to ignite first, turn on the headlights to remove the floating electricity. After that make sure that the ignition and the consumers are switched off.
Connect the negative plug (black) to the negative terminal of the battery.
Connect the positive plug (red) to the positive terminal of the battery.

Once the battery tester is well connected to the battery, the display will light on to indicate tester version and battery voltage.

Voltmeter:
12.40V

Tester will display the following contents after press any key.

• Battery test:

• Select Battery Type
  After the battery test selected, the battery tester will prompt to select battery type, i.e. Regular Flooded, Lithium Ion, AGM Flat Plate, AGM Spiral, Gel and EFB battery. Press UP/DOWN key to select battery type, then press ENTER key to confirm.

Battery System Standard and Rating: the battery tester will test each battery according to the selected system and rating.
Use UP/DOWN key to select according to the actual system standard and rating marked on the battery. See in the below picture, the arrow indicated location.

Select Input		Setting Rate
CCA		500 CCA

It takes around 3 seconds to display the battery test result.

BATTERY TEST RESULT

Battery test result includes 5 types as following:

CRANKING TEST

Cranking test is the Engine ignition test. This test allows to check if the battery can provide enough power to start the engine. It tests the battery instant voltage once start the engine.
If cranking voltage value is lower than 9.6V, the result is considered as abnormal. If the result is higher than 9.6V, the result is considered as Normal.

Tester prompts as following:

Cranking Test		Cranking Test		Cranking Test
Start Engine		RPM Detected		Time           780ms Cranking   Normal 10.13V

CHARGING TEST (ALTERNATOR TEST)

Tester prompts as following:

Charging Test				Charging Test		Charging Test
Loaded Testing ****		Increasing RPM to 2500r/ min, keep it 5s. Press ENTER to continue.		Testing ****		Loaded       14.16V Unloaded   14.39V Replace        15mV Charging   Normal Charging Test

1. Charging Test result: Normal
Charging system shows the generator output normal, no problem detected.

2. Charging Test result: Low
Charging volt of the charging system is low.
Check drive belt of the generator whether slip or running off.
Check the connection between generator and battery is normal or not.
If both of the drive belt and the connection are in good condition, follow the manufacturer’s suggestion to eliminate generator fault.

3. Charging test result: High
Generator output volt is high. Since most of the vehicle generators are using internal regulator, the generator assembly has to be replaced.(Some old style cars are using external regulator, then directly replace the regulator.).
The normal high volt of the voltage regulator is maximum 14.7±0.5V. If charging volt is too high, it will overcharge the battery. Therefore the battery life will be shortened and troubles will be caused.

4. No Volt Output:
No generator volt output is detected. Check the generator connection cable and the belt whether they are normal.

5. Diode Test:
Through the test of charging current ripple, tester will find out whether the diode is normal or not. When ripple volt is too high, it proves at least one diode is damaged. Check and replace the diode.
