INTRODUCTUCTION

Product Profile

The SP61065 Battery Tester adopts what is currently the world's most advanced conductance testing technology to easily, quickly and accurately measure the actual cold cranking amps (CCA) capability of the vehicle starting battery, and its state of health. This tool assists maintenance personnel to find the problem quickly and accurately. It will test all automotive cranking lead acid batteries, including ordinary lead acid battery, AGM flat plate battery, AGM spiral battery, Gel battery and EFB battery

•Tests a battery with low charge, no need to full charge the battery before testing.

•Detects a bad battery cells.

•Indicates health status (or condition) of connected battery.

•Includes reverse polarity protection; incorrect battery connection will not damage the tester or affect the vehicle or its battery.

•Testing standards include currently the world's majority of battery standards, CCA, BCI, CA, MCA, JIS, DIN, IEC, EN, SAE, GB.

•Supports multi-languages, customer can select different language package, which includes: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Dutch.

Product Function

Battery test analyses a battery’s healthy status by calculating the actual cold cranking capability of the battery and comparing this against its rated (new) capacity. This provides a reliable analysis of the battery’s condition and what maintenance may be required for the battery. It can thereby notify the user when to replace a battery in advance of its ultimate failure.

The Battery test is targeted to analyse the battery condition and calculate the actual cold cranking capability of the battery including its aging extent. This provides reliable analysis evidence for the test and maintenance of the battery. It notifies the user when to replace the battery prior to in service failure.

The Cranking test (12V and 24V systems) is used to test and analyse the starter motor. By measuring the actual cranking current and cranking voltage of the starter motor, it is possible to determine starter motor condition.

The Charging test (12V and 24V systems) is to check the charging system. Including alternator output and rectifier diode function. This will confirm if the output voltage of the alternator is correct, the rectifier is working and the charge current is normal.

Tool Description

Internal Resistance Explanation

Internal Resistance (IR) is an important factor for accessing a battery’s capability. When a battery’s internal resistance exceeds a specific value, the engine can't be started. The normal IR value of cars should be less than 10mΩ, but there will be differences between different battery types and those with greater or lesser CCA.

Normally, for the same kind of batteries, the lower the IR, the healthier the battery is, (short circuit excepted).

6

Voltage Explanation

Normally, it is 100% charged when the battery voltage is 12.60V or above.

•100% Charged = Battery voltage 12.60V or above

•75% Charged = Battery voltage 12.45V

•50% Charged = Battery voltage 12.15V

•Discharged condition = Battery voltage less than 12.00V

Operating Instructions

If testing batteries of low-frequency use, it is necessary to cycle (charge and discharge) the battery several times before testing, normally 3-5 times will achieve a reliable test result. Only after cycling the battery can the chemical properties of the battery be restored. This is particularly important after long periods of no use. If after 3-5 times of battery charge and discharge, the battery health state is still lower than 60%, battery replacement should be considered.

1.To extend battery life, Low use batteries, should be recharged every 2 months.

2.Please turn off the engine before testing.

3.When charging is finished, do not test immediately. Wait at least 10 minutes to allow the battery charge to stabilise, then test. Even when testing an in vehicle battery, after the engine is turned off (for the most accurate results) wait 10 minutes before testing.

4.In general, if the battery voltage is below 12.40V, recharge it.

Before Testing

Before testing, use a wire brush (not included) and alkaline cleaner (not included) to clean the battery terminals, as any surface resistance on the terminal will negatively affect the test result.

Before testing on an, in-vehicle battery, ensure the ignition key is turned off. Make sure there is no power drain from any other vehicle electronics and keep the car doors closed so interior lights do not illuminate.

Attach the red test clip to the battery positive terminal, the black test clip to battery negative terminal. Note: Tester has an automatic reverse polarity protection, if accidentally misconnected it will not cause any adverse effects.

In order to ensure a good electrical connection with no resistance, please wiggle the test clips on the terminal posts a few times when connecting.

The tester draws its operating power from the battery being tested; it will only operate when connected to a battery with more than 6 volts available. For this reason, the battery analyser will not operate if connected to a dead flat battery.

Charging Test

Please choose "Charging Test" and press Enter key, select 12V or 24V from next screen to choose correct charging system test.

NOTE: Do not shut down the engine during the test. Do the steps according to the following instructions.

After the test finished, tester displays the effective charging voltages, ripple voltage and charging test result.

NOTE: If no increase rev detected, it shall be the fault of generator regulator or connection with battery failed. Tester will try 3 times to further detect, if still failed, it will skip the increase rev detect and the test result displays "No Output". See below:

Check the connection between generator and battery, then retest.

13

Charging Test Result:

1)Charging Volt: Normal - Charging system shows the generator output normal, no problem detected.

2)Charging Volt: Low - Charging volt of the charging system is low. Check drive belt of the generator whether slip or running off. Check the connection between generator and battery is normal or not. If both of the drive belt and the connection are in good condition, follow the manufacturer's suggestion to eliminate generator fault.

3)Charging Volt: High - Generator output volt is high. Since most of the vehicle generators

are using internal regulator, the generator assembly has to be replaced (Some old style cars are using external regulator, then directly replace the regulator.)

The normal high volt of the voltage regulator is maximum 14.7±0.5V. If charging volt is too high, it will overcharge the battery. Therefore the battery life will be shortened and troubles will be caused.4) No Volt Output:- No generator output detected. Check generator connection cable and the belt condition.

5)Diode Test: - Through the test of charging current ripple, tester will find out whether the diode is normal or not. When ripple volt is too high, it proves at least one diode is damaged. Check and replace the diode.

Till now, all tests have been done.

Note: If press Enter key once the testing result comes up, then it will remind the user want to print the test result or not.
