Test Procedures / Operating Instruction IMPORTANT: 1. For testing 6 and 12 volt batteries, and for testing 12 and 24 volt charging systems. 2. Suggested operation range 32°F (0°C) to 122°F (50°C) in ambient temperature. WARNING: 1. Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery operation.
3. Inspect the battery for cracked or broken case or cover. If battery is damaged, do not use tester. 4. If the battery is not sealed maintenance free, add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by the manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells.

HIGH CHARGING VOLTS WHEN TEST AT IDLE ALT. IDLE VOLTS xx.xxV HIGH The voltage output from the alternator to the battery ex- ceeds the normal limits of a functioning regulator. Check to ensure there is no loose connection and the ground connection is normal. If there is no connection issue, replace the regulator.

• is non-spillable, and therefore can be operated in virtually any position. However, up- side-down installation is not recommended. •connections must be retorqued and the batteries should be cleaned periodically. What is an AGM battery? An AGM battery is a lead-acid electric storage battery that: •...
continuously without the terminal voltage falling below 1.2volts per cell, after it has been cooled to 0OF and held at that temperature. This rating reflects the ability of the battery to deliver engine starting currents under winter conditions. What is AMPERE-HOUR? The unit of measurement of electrical capacity.
