Page 4: Working With Batteries
DBT701 USER MANUAL Never lay tools on vehicle battery. You may short the terminals together causing harm to yourself, the tools or the battery. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry while working on engine. Loose clothing can get caught in fan, pulleys, belts, etc. -
Page 5: Initial Setup
DBT701 USER MANUAL 2. Battery that has just been charged by the charger contains surface charge and it should be discharged by turning ON the Head lights for 3~5 minutes before testing. 3. Always attached the tester clips on the lead side of the battery terminal posts during testing so that it has a good contact. - Page 6 DBT701 USER MANUAL Fig.5 3. Use key to move backward or key to move forward, key to increase the number and key to decrease it. When completed, press key will return to the main menu (Fig.4).
- Page 7 DBT701 USER MANUAL Car / Truck Battery Test: This test is intended for 12V Batteries but not on 24V. The reason is most trucks that use 24V systems have two 12V batteries connected in series to produce 24V. To test on 24V system (12V Battery x 2), disconnects the connection between each battery and test one battery at a time.
- Page 8 DBT701 USER MANUAL 2. When one of the Analyser clamps is not properly secured to the battery posts, it will prompt you as shown below (Fig. 11 and 12 flashing alternately). In this case, unclamp and clamp the Analyser clips again on the battery posts.

If the rating is selected under JIS # (Japanese Industrial Standard) then you need to refer to the conversion chart provided separately with the Tester when purchased to convert to CCA ratings. Fig.24 Refer to the battery model (example: 80D26L or NX110-5L) on the Cold Cranking Amps (CCA), WET is 580 CCA and AGM is 630 CCA.
- Page 13 DBT701 USER MANUAL Fig.27 14. This Analyser will also takes the temperature of the battery into consideration when it has detected that the battery condition is marginal(SOC below 75%) and it will prompt you with the display as shown ( Fig. 28) below: (+) 0°C and above...
- Page 14 DBT701 USER MANUAL 18. Press key, the screen will show as (Fig.31) below: Fig.31 19. For Motorcycle Batteries before selecting whether [WET (SLI)] or [AGM] and the ratings ‘CCA, SAE, EN, IEC, DIN, CA and JIS #’ from the menu, check the battery model. This can be checked on the battery labels as some of the examples shown below: With the battery model in hand, refer to the Battery rating chart ( as seen in this example Fig.32...

DBT701 USER MANUAL 21. Once the Amps rating of the battery is confirmed, press key will start the testing process. Refer to the display below (Fig.35): 22. For less than 8 seconds, the results of the testing will be displayed on the LCD screen (Fig.36) Fig.35... - Page 16 DBT701 USER MANUAL State Of WET/SLI Charge(SOC) 100 % 12.60 V 12.80 V 12.85 V 90 % 12.58 V 12.72 V 12.77 V 80 % 12.44 V 12.64 V 12.69 V 75 % 12.40 V 12.60 V 12.65 V 50 % 12.20 V...
- Page 17 DBT701 USER MANUAL Thus, the CCA test shows the minimum power requirement for the battery as rated, which means a battery rated at 400 CCA must measure 7.2 volts or above for 30 seconds when a load of 400 amps is applied at 0°F/ -18°C.
- Page 18 DBT701 USER MANUAL CA (Cranking Amperes) / MCA (Marine Cranking Amperes) Rating. This rating is the number of amperes that a new fully charged battery can delivery at 32F (0C) for 30 seconds, while maintaining a voltage of at least 7.2 Volts for a 12V battery during cranking.

Page 19: Starter Test
DBT701 USER MANUAL Fig.40 - Results shown [Recharge and test again], it indicated that the battery has to be fully charged first before repeating the test. Reason: State of Charge: 11.09V is too low. For Fig.41 - Results shown [To replace], this meant that the battery need to be replaced as its internal plate resistance [Int. -
