4 Battery (only applies to iSmartTool 601BT &

iSmartTool 601Max)

4.1 Battery Test

Battery test is specifically designed to help car owner, repair workshop, battery

factory determine whether the battery is normal or not. It supports various

battery standards and specifications, including CCA, DIN, IEC, EN, JIS, SAE

and GB etc.

Two test modes (Out-of-car Inspection & In-car Inspection) are available and

applicable to battery test.

There are mainly 5 battery states as follows:

1. Good battery - Indicates that the battery is normal.

2. Replace battery - Indicates that the battery is aged or becomes rejected, or

battery life cycle is nearly exhausted. In this case, battery voltage appears to

be normal, but battery itself is not well, i.e. battery polarity board has been

completely vulcanized or aged. Please replace battery immediately.

3. Good-recharge - Stands for low battery. The battery is good itself.

4. Charge-retest - It is better for a few batteries to be fully charged before

testing in order to avoid judging in error under special conditions.

5. Bad cell - Indicates one of the battery cells is bad and cannot work normally,

but for which one is bad, it can’t be verified. In this case, battery voltage is

generally lower than 11V, mainly resulting from internal circuitry damage,

such as short circuit, open circuit, dummy weld etc.

4.1.1 Out-of-car Inspection

Out-of-car inspection indicates that the battery is disconnected from all loading

devices on vehicles. Only battery test is supported for this inspection.

1. Plug one end of the battery cable clamps into the circular connector of the

tool. Clamp the BLACK and RED clips of the battery cable clamps on the

Negative (-) and Positive (-) terminals of the vehicle battery respectively.

Note: The cable connector is keyed and will only fit one way. If you have problems

connecting the cable connector to the circular connector, rotate it 180° and try again.

2. Tap Battery -> Out-of-car inspection on the tool, the following screen will

appear:
