Introduction
The 882IS Battery Tester is an instrument designed to test the six-volt, sealed, lead-acid batteries in the 882IS. While the
instrument is connected to the battery, it continuously measures the battery terminal voltage. When the Apply Load button is
pressed, the instrument measures voltage of the battery while it is under a full load. While the tester is connected to both the
battery and the IS6V2 battery charger, and the Apply Charge button is pressed, the instrument measures voltage going into
the battery from the battery charger.
