2. Determine the correct measuring range on the scale
Determine the capacity or cold test current of the battery under test. The cold test current is also prin-
ted on the battery as "CCA" (Cold Cranking Amps) in the unit "Ampere" (A).
On the scale there is a green area below 12 V which is graduated from 200-1000 CCA. To evaluate
the test result, select the scale corresponding to the battery.
If no cold test current is printed on the battery, please use the table below to select the appropriate
scale.
Battery capacity
36 Ah - 44 Ah
55 Ah - 66 Ah
75 Ah - 88Ah
95 Ah - 110 Ah

3. Press the test switch for 10 seconds!
Observe the indicator needle of the instrument carefully. Remember where the needle is at the end of
the 10 seconds. Assess the battery according to the following battery load analysis.

Battery condition
The battery is in good condition and can be fully
charged if necessary.
Battery performance is not satisfying. The battery
is either defective or partially discharged. Deter-
mine the battery charge level with a hygrometer
(measure acid density)
The battery is faulty (e.g. due to a bad cell). As a
counter-check, release the switch and observe
the reaction of the voltmeter. If the display returns
to 12 V within a few seconds, the battery is defec-
tive. If, on the other hand, the battery voltage ri-
ses slowly, the battery is probably only very se-
verely discharged.
