Original manual SURFACE CHARGE NOTICE: The battery will hold a surface charge if the engine has been running or after the battery has been charged. The tes- ter may prompt you to remove the surface charge. A. Follow the instructions indicating when to turn the headlights on and off or apply a load into the battery. IN VEHICLE: SURFACE CHARGE

VEHICLE? NO TESTING B. The tester will resume testing after it detects that the surface charge is removed. TESTING

10. Test the battery for few seconds.

13. One of the six test results will be displayed:

GOOD & PASS *The battery is good and capable of holding a charge. GOOD & PASS VOL: xx.xx V CCA: xxxx CCA/SAE IR: xx.xxmΩ GOOD & RECHARGE *The battery is good but needs to be recharged. GOOD & RECHARGE VOL: xx.xx V CCA: xxxx CCA/SAE IR: xx.xxmΩ CAUTION *The battery may be serviced but decrease the capability of starting the engine gradually. The battery may fail under extreme climate conditions. There may be a poor connection between the vehicle and the battery affect the charging function.
