Battery Starter Alternator Analyser
T6
Introduction
With the advent of latest battery technology, this Battery Tester, Alternator/Starter/Electrical
Analyser introduces the modern method of battery testing. Coupled with its intuitive fully
graphical display, makes its operation easy and user friendly. With the simplicity of all the
graphical symbols used, it is simple enough for the non-English speaking countries to be
universally accepted and solves language barrier. It is designed to test all 12V Car and
Motorcycle Batteries, Starters and Alternators and charging conditions.
It uses microprocessor controlled testing and the results are accurate and repeatable. The
operation is quick (less than 7 sec) and does not create sparks (dedicated for more safety) or
drain the battery during the test.
1. Battery Test:
Analyses battery condition using microprocessor controlled testing methods without the
need of fully charging it before test.
Consume very little current during testing, hence the test can be repeated numerous
times without any worry on battery drainage and results are highly accurate.
Extremely safe as there is no sparks created during clamping and full analysed result
takes less than 7 seconds to obtain.
2. Starter Test:
Check
to crank based on voltage profiles with results and recommendations display.
3. Alternator and Diode Ripple Test:
Checks the alternator charging condition without load at 3,000 RPM and with load at
2,000 RPM. Furthermore, Diode AC ripple test with results displayed after each test.
the cranking effectiveness of the battery for indication on when the battery may fail

  • Page 1 Battery Starter Alternator Analyser Version A1607 Introduction With the advent of latest battery technology, this Battery Tester, Alternator/Starter/Electrical Analyser introduces the modern method of battery testing. Coupled with its intuitive fully graphical display, makes its operation easy and user friendly. With the simplicity of all the graphical symbols used, it is simple enough for the non-English speaking countries to be universally accepted and solves language barrier.
  • Page 2: Specifications

    After the test, the current results will be stored in the analyser memory for further reference. The analyser is also equipped with an USB port to connect to the PC for storage of results or have the result printed from the PC linked printer. Specifications Operating Voltage: 9V ~ 15V DC (max)
  • Page 3: Working With Batteries

    • Always have a fire extinguisher readily available and easily accessible in the workshop. Working with Batteries Lead-acid batteries contain a sulphuric acid electrolyte, a highly corrosive liquid which produce gases when recharged and explode if ignited which could cause severe injuries. When working with batteries, make sure that the working environment is well-ventilated, remove any jewelry, watch and wear protective eyewear (safety glasses), clothing, and exercise caution.
  • Page 4 7. If the battery is a WET type: non-sealed maintenance free, top up the level as specified by the markings on the battery with distilled water. This will help to purge the gas from the cells. However, please exercise with care and do not overfill the battery. 8.
  • Page 5 New Test: Clear Memory Selecting this item allow the Analyser to clear the previous results stored in the memory to start a new test. Repeat or Continue Test Selecting this option allows the continuation or updates of the last test carried out on the same car.
  • Page 6 Selecting allows the user to test Car Battery (up to 2000A), Starter and Alternator, whereas selecting allows testing of Motorcycle Battery (up to 600A) only. 6. When the user has selected , the display will change to the MENU with options shown inFig.12 below: Fig.12 Select...
  • Page 7 10. With the rating selection, the analyser screen will display as per Fig.16 below: Fig.16 11. When rating JIS# (Japanese Industrial Standard) was selected, please refer to the conversion chart provided with the package for the CCA ratings of the battery. 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 8 16. The analyser will take surrounding temperature into consideration and prompt for temperature input shown in Fig.20 below when it detected marginal (SOC below 75%) battery condition: (+) 0°C and above (-) 0°C and below Fig.20 The user has to select the surrounding temperature when working with the battery. If the surrounding temperature is 15°C, select followed by .
  • Page 9 Fig.25 4. Once the battery type [WET] or [AGM] is selected, it will proceed to the display as shown below (Fig.26): Fig.26 5. To adjust the CCA value, press or  key will increase or decrease the value by 100 while or...
  • Page 10: Interpretation Of Results

    Interpretation of Results The battery is in good condition. The battery is weak, need to be replaced with a good one. Low SOC (State of Charge), the battery needs to recharge first and then test again to confirm the actual results. Basing on the example given in Fig.29, the final results can be explained as follows: Volts: 12.65V...
  • Page 11 From the above example, a 210 CCA rated battery measuring 160 CCA available power does not mean that the battery would pass a CCA test at 190 CCA. The available power reading shows that the battery is not able to perform up to its rated ability (210 CCA).
  • Page 12 IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard. • ° ° IEC amperes rating require that at 0 F (-18 C), the number of amperes that the 12V battery deliver while maintaining a voltage of at least of 8.4 Volts for 60 seconds during cranking. EN 1 (European Norms) Standard.
