HEAVY LOAD ELECTRONIC BATTERY TESTER
SAFETY INFORMATION
Working in the vicinity of lead-acid battery is DANGEROUS due to EXPLOSIVE GASES
generated by the battery, these gases can be ignited by a spark, cigarette or flame and
are powerful enough to blow a battery apart, forcefully showering the area with battery
pieces and acid.
To reduce the chance of exploding batteries follow instructions by manufacturers of
batteries as well as these instructions.
IN CASE OF ACCIDENT RINSE EYES WITH CLEAN WATER AT LEAST 5 MINUTES
AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. NEVER USE EYE DROPS OR
OTHER MEDICATION UNLESS DIRECTED BY A DOCTOR.
When working around lead-acid batteries wear eye protection. NEVER smoke, have an
open flame or sparks near battery. Have plenty of ventilation and keep your face as far
as possible from the battery. Undercharged lead-acid batteries will freeze during cold
weather. Never test or charge a frozen battery. Do not allow tools to drop onto a
battery. Do not lay tester on battery.
BATTERY LOAD TEST
This test evaluates the battery's ability to crank an engine. The tester draws current
from the battery while measuring its voltage level. The voltage level of a good battery
will remain relatively steady under load, but a defective battery will show a rapid loss in
voltage. Battery size (CCA rating) and temperature will affect test results - follow
instructions carefully.
1. Turn off engine, accessories and battery test equipment.
