and other additional functions.
Battery test - Analyzes the battery State of Charge,
State of Health, CCA, Current Voltage, and Internal
Resistance. This provides reliable analysis data for the
test and maintenance of the battery. User is notified
in advance to replace the battery once it has aged.
Cranking test - Tests and analyzes the ability of
the battery to supply starting power to the vehicle
engine by evaluating the battery ability to hold up
the required voltage when applied to a load.
