  • Page 2 Battery Tester Quick Guide Let's Start by Measuring a New Battery To determine if a battery is worn out, measure the data of a new battery. As a battery wears out, its internal resistance increases to approximately 1.5 to 2 times (reference value) that of a new one. Use these values as guidelines when determining the battery wear judgment values.
