Battery Charging - Honda CBR954RR 2002 Service Manual

Push in the appropriate test button for 3 seconds and
read the condition of the battery on the meter.
Tester damage can result from overheating when:
-
The test button is pushed in for more than 3 sec-
onds.
- The tester is used without being allowed to cool for
at least 1 minute when testing more than one bat-
tery.
-
More than ten consecutive tests are performed
without allowing at least a 30-minute cool-down
period.
The result of a test o n the meter scale is relative to the
amp. hour rating of the battery. Any battery reading in
the green zone is ok. Batteries should only be charged
if they register in the YELLOW or RED zone.
