CADEX 12V "RAPID RC BATTERY TESTER" TOOL AND BATTERY WARRANTY POLICY
SUBJECT:
Service Area Integration
The Rapid RC Battery Tester was launched as an additional tool to the current GR8 diagnostic
charger. Both the Rapid RC Battery Tester and GR8 can be used to submit warranty claims. The
printout must be attached to the repair order including the warranty code. Battery charge attempt is
still required when the Rapid RC Battery Tester indicates a Charge & Retest result.
The Rapid RC Battery Tester's unique EIS technology operates from an internal rechargeable Li-ion
battery. The tester should be charged daily while not in use. The tester can check up to 300 vehicles
on a fully charged internal battery. It can show results for every battery including dead batteries at
very low voltage.
The Rapid RC Battery Tester should be the primary tool to test all service drive vehicles. The battery
test should be done as soon as possible after vehicle check-in. The tester can rapidly decide Good
Battery versus Replace Battery depending on state of charge (SOC) levels as per below:
SOC (%)
OCV (volts)
Flooded Battery:
60% or
(60%=12.35v)
more
AGM Battery
(60%=12.50v)
Below
More than
60%
8.75v
Below
0%

Most battery failures will be found by the Rapid RC Tester's EIS scan for the "Resistance High" category.
