BASIC BATTERY LOAD TEST  
(Conventional & Maintenance-Free Types)  
1. Connect clamps to battery posts Red (+) Pos, Black  
(-) Neg and note the battery’s capacity. Engine and all  
electrical accessories must be off when testing battery.  
2. Hold load switch “on” for 10 seconds.  
3. Read meter with load still on then refer to battery  
analysis table on back of Tester.  
COLD TEMPERATURE EFFECTS  
A battery will test lower when cold than when warm. For  
more accurate results, please reduce the battery’s nominal  
rating by 200 cranking amperes (one step on meter scale)  
for each 20°F drop below 40°F. If cranking ampere rating is  
800 and battery temperature is 0°F, test as a 400 cranking  
ampere battery (i.e. 2 steps down).

BATTERY CONDITION  
Good (Green)  
Battery capacity is OK. Battery may or  
may not be fully charged. Check spe-  
cific gravity of battery to determine state  
of charge, check for electrical drain or  
possible charging system trouble. Re-  
charge battery to full level.  
Battery capacity is not satisfactory. Bat-  
tery may be either defective or not fully  
charged. Check specific gravity to de-  
termine which condition exists. If charg-  
ing does not bring specific gravity to full  
charge level, battery should be replaced.

(Yellow or Red)  
volt or above within seconds indicates  
defective battery. Slow voltage recovery  
indicates run down condition. For best  
results, check specific gravity.

STARTER MOTOR TEST  
1. Connect clamps to battery posts and do the basic  
battery test. In addition, note the exact voltage with the  
load test on. If voltage continues to fall after 10 seconds,  
this test cannot be preformed.  
2. Apply the voltage obtained above to starter test table  
on the scale plate. In this case, please use the next  
higher minimum cranking volts for the engine of less  
than 200 CID. For example, if load voltage is 11.00,  
use 10.2 for minimum cranking voltage.

3. Disable the ignition system without starting, crank the  
engine and note the voltage.  
4. If cranking voltage of Step 3 is below the minimum  
cranking voltage in starter test table, the starter current  
draw is excessive. If starter cranks slowly, check for  
high resistance or poor connections.

CHARGING SYSTEM TEST  
1. Connect clamps to battery for basic load test.  
2. Operate engine at fast idle.  
3. Note meter reading with all electrical accessories off.  
It should be in green “good” band in “charging system”  
scale.  
4. With headlights and blower motor on high, meter  
should remain in green “good” band.  
5. If meter reads red band or outside the charging system  
zone, trouble is indicated.  
NOTE  
On initial use of your Battery Tester, smoke may  
develop. This is caused by the lubrication burning off  
the heater coils. This will not affect the performance of  
your Battery Tester and will diminish upon further use.
