For testing all 12V automotive starting batteries

rated in CCA, SAE, DIN, JIS#, IEC, EN and CA.

Also for testing vehicle Electric

al System.

Quick Start Guide

Caution: Never lay tools on the

battery top. You may short the

terminals together causing harm to

LIMITED WARRANTY

This Battery Electrical System Analyser [12-1015] is

warranted to be free from defects in material and

workmanship for a period of 12 months from the date

of purchase and is subjected to the following terms

and conditions:

1. Within the warranty period, the manufacturer will

repair or replace, at their options, any defective

parts and return to the owner in good working

• Unauthorized modification and repair

• Improper operation or misuse

• Accident or neglect such as dropping onto

hard surfaces.

• Contact with water, rain or extreme humidity

or heat.

• Physical damages such as cables broken,

surface cracks, etc.

Performing Battery Test while it is still in the car:

Vehicle that was running has to have its engine OFF

first and then switch ON the headlights for 30 seconds

to remove the surface charge. After the headlights

had switched OFF, let the battery rest for at least 1

minute to recover before testing commences.

The car engine and all other accessory loads must be

OFF during test in order to have an accurate result.

When attaching the analyser clips, make sure that the

battery posts were not oxidized or badly corroded.

Clean them first before clamping to it. Do not clamp

onto the steel bolts directly which may give inaccurate

and inconsistent results.

Testing on stand-alone batteries:

Clean the battery posts with a wire brush prior testing.

For side- post batteries, install stud adaptors. Do not

use steel bolts for better results.
