BATTERY TESTER
OPERATOR'S MANUAL
SAFETY INFORMATION
Working in the vicinity of lead-acid battery is DANGEROUS due to
EXPLOSIVE GASES generated by the battery which can be ignited by a
spark, cigarette or flame and blow the battery apart, forcefully showering the
area with battery pieces and acid.
To reduce the chance of exploding batteries follow instructions by
manufacturers of batteries as well as these instructions.
IN CASE OF ACCIDENT RINSE EYES WITH CLEAN WATER AT LEAST 5
MINUTES AND SEE A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY. NEVER USE EYE
DROPS OR OTHER MEDICATION UNLESS DIRECTED BY A DOCTOR.
When around lead-acid batteries wear eye protection and avoid touching or
rubbing the battery as well as clothing, skin and eyes. NEVER smoke, have
an open flame or sparks near battery. Have plenty of ventilation and keep
your face as far as possible from the battery. Undercharged lead-acid
batteries will freeze during cold weather. Never test or charge a frozen
battery. Do not allow tools to drop onto a battery. Do not lay tester on
battery.
BATTERY LOAD TEST
This test evaluates the battery's ability to crank an engine. The tester draws
current from the battery while measuring its voltage level. The voltage level
of a good battery will remain relatively steady under load, but a defective
battery will show a rapid loss in voltage. Battery size (CCA rating) and
temperature will affect test results - follow instructions carefully.
1. Turn off engine, accessories and battery test equipment.
2. Connect negative (black) clamp to the negative (NEG, N,-) battery post.
Connect positive (red) clamp to positive (POS, P, +) battery post. "Rock"
clamps back and forth to insure a good electrical connection. For
batteries with side terminals, use the adapters in clamps.
3. With clamps connected, tester's meter will indicate battery's STATE OF
CHARGE. If state of charge is less then 12.4 (6.2) volts ("V" symbol on
meter), the battery should be recharged before load testing. If recharging
does not bring voltage to 12.4 (6.2), battery is defective. If meter needle
is off scale to the left, check for loose or reversed clamps; otherwise
battery is defective.
