BATTERY TEST RESULTS
GOOD BATTERY
The battery is OK to use.
GOOD - RECHARGE
The battery is OK but needs to be fully charged with an external
charger. After charge the battery can return to service.
CHARGE & RETEST
Fully charge the battery with an external charger and repeat
the test. If the battery is not fully charged it could lead to incor-
rect test results.
REPLACE BATTERY
Before replacing the battery perform a system test to analyse
the complete system.
UNCONFIRMED RESULT
Retest the battery directly at the battery post. Disconnect or
remove the battery to access it.
FROZEN BATTERY
Let the battery warm before testing or charging.
GENERATE PAIR RESULTS
IN BALANCE
Batteries are in balance and OK for use.
OUT OF BALANCE
Batteries are not equally charged or healthy. Look into the indi-
vidual battery results for the required action.
CHARGE
Fully charge the pair and retest.
REPLACE
Replace the pair.
DEEP SCAN
In some cases the tester may need to further analyze the battery to determine whether the battery
should be replaced or it has a significant chance to be recovered. It will then conduct a Deep Scan
Test of the battery for a few seconds. After the test the results are displayed on the display, part of
the test can also be a 5 minute dynamic response test. To perform this test an Amp clamp is needed.

Select the QC test mode: STOCK CONTROL or COMPOUND TEST. The next screen allows you
to erase the memory or continue to test. In case of the COMPOUND TEST: select the BATTERY
LOCATION, TEST LOCATION, BATTERY RATING (either predefined - batteries can be added or
deleted in the UTILITY MENU under BATTERY LIST, or via manual input), BATTERY TYPE, and
the VOLTAGE. When a STOCK CONTROL test is performed: enter the BATTERY TYPE, RATING
UNITS, BATTERY RATING, CAPACITY and VOLTAGE.
STARTER SYSTEM RESULTS
The cranking voltage is normal and battery is charged.
The cranking voltage is low and battery is charged.
The cranking voltage is low and the battery is discharged.
Charge battery and repeat the test.
Replace the battery. Press ENTER to perform the CHARGING
test.
The cranking voltage is high but cranking current is low.
Engine was not detected, but the engine did start.
CHARGING SYSTEM RESULTS
The charging system is OK.
The alternator is not providing charging current to the battery.
The alternator is not providing enough current to power the
system's electrical loads and charge the battery.
The voltage output from the alternator to the battery
exceeds the normal limits of a functioning regulator.
One or more diodes in the alternator aren't functioning
or there's stator damage, which is shown by an excessive
amount of AC ripple current supplied to the battery.
The tester has detected an open phase within the alternator.
The tester has detected an open diode within the alternator.
The tester has detected a shorted diode within the alternator.
