Testing Procedures
10
F. BATTERY TEST
1. Plug the RED test lead into
the "BAT." jack of the
multimeter; plug the BLACK
test lead into the "COM"
jack.
2. Determine the voltage rating
of the battery to be tested.
3. Set the meter’s Function/ Range Selector Switch to the
desired "Battery Test" range (see Controls and Indicators,
Item 12).
4. Place the RED test lead on the positive post of the battery
under test; place the BLACK lead on the negative post.
NOTE: If a battery is completely dead, or nearly dead (below
10% of its rated voltage), the red LED will not light.
5. Read the results using the display and the LEDs:
Green = fully charged (good battery)
Yellow = low (questionable)
Red = discharged (bad battery)
NOTE: Battery life is directly proportional to the current
draw/load of the device that the battery is powering. The three
LEDs on the multimeter represent battery state-of-charge
averages for the most commonly used devices.
