Thank you for purchasing. Your lead acid battery
capacity indicator Qulon-12ns is designed for fast bat-
tery capacity estimation. With the help of the device,
you can test new or used 12-volt lead acid batteries.
This will help you to condemn defective batteries or bat-
teries that have lost capacity. With Qulon-12ns, you will
always keep your battery systems in perfect working or-
der.
Qulon-12ns is designed for years of reliable
work and does not need any service.
Qulon-12ns is designed for testing batteries
without disconnecting them from the charger or rectifier.
Please read this manual! It contains significant
instructions for using battery capacity indicator. Follow-
ing this manual, you will keep device working and your
batteries ready to take critical loads.
Keep this manual! In contains important safety
precautions and warranty information.
