3. Connect tester leads to the battery, clamping the red clamp to the vehicle
positive battery terminal first. Then, clamp the black clamp to the vehicle
negative battery terminal second.
Note: Whenever possible, connect directly to the terminals/posts of the battery.
4. Upon completing a proper battery connection, the tester display will show the
Home Screen. Select BATTERY TEST, scrolling as needed to bring the indicator
in line with BATTERY TEST, and press “ENTER” (center button).
5. Press Arrow Keys to select type of battery to be tested: SLI, AGM Flat Plate,
AGM/Spiral, VRLA/GEL or START/STOP. SLI refers to standard Starting/
Lighting/Ignition flooded batteries, AGM/Flat Plate refers specifically to
traditionally shaped AGM batteries, AGM/Spiral refers specifically to AGM-
designated Spiral Wound batteries, VRLA/GEL specifically refers to Gel Cell
batteries and START/STOP specifically refers to starting batteries installed in
vehicles utilizing START/STOP technology. Press “ENTER”.
5a. Additional sequence when START/STOP battery type is chosen. Tester will ask
what type of battery is being used in the START/STOP application, EFB or AGM.
EFB refers to Enhanced Flooded Battery constructions and AGM refers to AGM
battery constructions. Choose correct battery type and Press “ENTER”.
6. Press Arrow Keys to select the applicable battery rating that you plan to test
against. Options include CCA, EN, IEC, DIN, JIS, MCA(CA). Press “ENTER”.
7. Scroll Arrow Keys to input the battery rating/capacity. Note that the Arrow Keys
will scroll, such that you do not have to continually repeat pressing each key.
Once proper battery rating is shown on the display, press “ENTER” to perform
the battery test (lasts 1-2 seconds).
8. Press Arrow Keys to select current ambient temperature range as shown on the
display. Press “ENTER”.
9. Optional sequence determined by the tester. At this point, the tester may display
a question to more accurately provide an assessment of the tested battery. If the
display shows “Is battery charged?”, toggle Arrow Keys to indicate YES or NO as
applicable and press “ENTER”. If NO is selected, the display will show the Open
Circuit Voltage of the Battery and the instruction RECHARGE RETEST. If YES is
selected, see Step 10 below.
10. When the test is complete, the display shows the determined voltage of the
battery and the determined rating of the battery.
