1.0 - Introduction 1.1-The Product: This Battery Analyzer is designed to test the condition of the automotive battery using conductance method. Unlike the conventional method of draining the battery by applying resistance load to it and obtain the result from the meter gauge;...
To protect your eyes from propellant object such as caustic liquids, always wear safety eye protection. Fuel and battery vapors are highly flammable. DO NOT SMOKE NEAR THE VEHICLE DURING TESTING.

2.2 Other Precautions: • This battery analyzer is meant for testing of 12 Volts batteries only. • Its operating voltage is from 9V ~ 15V DC and should not be tested on 24V directly. It will cause damage the unit. For 12V x 2 batteries (in series or parallel), disconnect the connections and test them individually.
For non-sealed batteries, check the electrolyte level. Make sure it is covering the plates, and it is not frozen before starting to recharge. Battery Analyzer Series Email: sales02@careucar.com MSN: careucar@hotmail.com Skype: careucar Yahoo: careucar@ymail.com...

MANUAL charger will not damage the vehicle's electrical system with high voltages. If this is even a remote possibility, then disconnect the vehicle's battery cables from the battery BEFORE connecting the charger.

(which is 65% state-of-charge or better). • If digital voltmeter result indicates 0 volts, you have an open cell. • If the digital voltmeter or the battery analyzer’s results indicates 10.45 to 10.65 volts, you probably have a shorted cell or a severely discharged battery.
NOTE: For long term float charging, such as backup power systems that are seldom discharged, the float voltage should be set around 13.02 to 13.20 volts. Battery Analyzer Series Email: sales02@careucar.com MSN: careucar@hotmail.com Skype: careucar Yahoo: careucar@ymail.com...
For example, assume that the Amperes-Hour capacity of the battery is 220 AH, then it would take 11 hours (220 divided by 20) to recharge or discharge the battery using a C/20 rate.

Avoid using fast, high rate, or boost chargers on any battery that is sulfated or deeply discharged. The electrolyte should NEVER bubble violently while recharging because high currents only create heat and excess explosive gasses.

24 hours and then use the hydrometer. AGM and GEL Cell should be equalized 2-4 times a year at most. Please check the manufacturer’s recommendations, especially on GEL Cell ones. 29 - Battery Analyzer Series Email: sales02@careucar.com MSN: careucar@hotmail.com Skype: careucar Yahoo: careucar@ymail.com...
You might have to increase the voltage in order to break down the hard lead sulfate crystals. If the battery gets above 110° F (43.3° C) then stop charging and allow the battery to cool down before continuing.
