Fully charge the battery. Allow the battery to rest before retesting.
Failure to fully charge the battery before retesting may cause false
readings. If CHARGE & RETEST appears again after you fully charge
the battery, replace the battery.
Replace the battery and retest. A REPLACE BATTERY result may also
mean a poor connection between the battery cables and the battery.
After disconnecting the battery cables, retest the battery using the out-

Replace the battery.
