Your 9-Range Analog Battery Tester is a sensitive,
accurate tester for checking your batteries' capacity.
You can test standard carbon-zinc, alkaline, mercury,
silver oxide, lithium, nickel-cadmium and nickel metal-
hydride batteries.
Note: Your tester is designed to check almost all
6- and 12-volt lantern, motorcycle, or marine batteries.
SETTING UP THE STAND
You can use the stand on the tester's back to set the
tester at an angle for easier reading.
1. Insert a coin into the indention in the bottom of the
tester's back, then lift the stand away from the tester.
2.
REMOVING THE TEST LEADS
The test leads are coiled inside the cabinet on the back
of the tester, covered by the stand.
1. Carefully pull the test leads out.
2. Thread the leads through the small slot at the bottom
right of the tester back.
3.
into the cabinet and snap the stand into place.

USING THE BATTERY TESTER
1. Turn the range switch to the marked voltage and type
of battery you want to check. Refer to the chart under
"Switch Settings" for the test load placed on the battery
during testing.

Probe Tip
Cautions:
• If you position the switch improperly, you cannot
obtain an accurate battery check. In addition, you
might damage the tester.
• Always properly identify battery polarity (+ and –)
before testing.
2. To check most types of batteries, touch the red probe
tip to the positive (+) battery terminal and the black
probe tip to the negative (–) battery terminal.
To check a 9V rectangular battery, position the
battery terminals so they make contact with the 9V
positive (+) and negative (–) posts on the face of the
battery tester.
To check a button cell battery, insert the battery into
the button battery tester with the positive (+) terminal
of the battery facing up.
Caution: Do not let the red probe tip contact the
black probe or negative post when you use the
button cell battery terminals.
3. Read the scale to determine the battery's condition.
Use the upper (REGULAR) scale for measuring
regular carbon-zinc and alkaline batteries.
Use the center (BUTTON CELL-LITHIUM) scale for
measuring mercury, silver oxide, alkaline, and lithium
button cell batteries.
Use the lower (Ni-Cd/Ni-MH) scale for measuring
rechargeable batteries.
4. If the reading is in the red REPLACE or RECHARGE
zones, replace or recharge the battery. If the
reading is in the green GOOD zone, the battery has
considerable capacity left.
If the reading is on the three red lines in the
REGULAR scale, the battery's strength is marginal.
Consider replacing or recharging the battery.
Note: When a fresh alkaline AAA, AA or 9V battery
is tested, the scale's needle moves a little more to
the right than when a fully charged AAA, AA or 9V
rechargeable battery is tested.
