Page 10: Introduction
INTRODUCTION • The Battery Tester is designed for measuring the internal impedance and open-circuit voltage of the secondary battery including Nickel-metal hydride battery (NiMH), Nickel-cadmium battery (NiCd), Lithium-ion battery (Li-ion), Alkaline battery and Lead-Acid battery. • AC four-terminal method to measure the internal impedance by eliminating lead impedance and contact impedance to get the accurate results. -
Page 11: Operation
Operation WARNING! � • Do not attempt to measure DC voltage exceeding 50V. Do not attempt to measure AC voltages. This could result in injury or damage to the unit. • Do not attempt to measure the voltage of a generator. This would result in an AC voltage being applied to the voltage generating output terminals, which is dangerous. -
