Frequently Asked Questions - OCBLT-100 Ozito

How do I test a 12V battery with the Ozito OCBLT-100?
Connect the red clamp to positive (+) and black clamp to negative (-) of the battery. Set the load switch to ON for a maximum of 10 seconds while reading the meter. The needle should indicate the battery capacity in the green area for a good battery. Allow 5 minutes cool-down before repeating.
What does CCA mean and how do I use it?
CCA stands for Cold Cranking Amps, a measure of a battery's ability to start an engine in cold temperatures. On the tester, select the CCA rating matching your battery (200-1000 CCA) on the meter scale. During load test, the needle should stay in the green zone for that rating.
Can I test a 6V battery with this tester?
Yes, the Ozito OCBLT-100 can test both 6V and 12V lead-acid batteries. For 6V, ensure the voltage is in the green 'OK' area on the 6V scale and hold the load switch for up to 10 seconds.
What should I do if the meter needle falls into the red or yellow zone?
A reading in the yellow or red indicates weak or bad battery capacity. Check the battery's specific gravity. If the needle continues to fall, the battery may be defective or run down. Recharge and retest, or replace the battery.
Can I test a lithium battery with this device?
No, the Ozito OCBLT-100 is designed only for lead-acid batteries. Do not use it on lithium batteries as it may cause damage or safety hazards.
How do I test the charging system of my vehicle?
Connect the clamps to the battery, start the engine and accelerate to 1200-1500 rpm. Without pressing the load switch, read the meter on the Charging Test Range. It should be in the green 'OK' area. Turn on headlights and fan; the reading should remain green.
What safety precautions should I take when using the tester?
Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and protective gloves. Work in a well-ventilated area. Avoid sparks near the battery. Do not touch the cooling vents during or after testing as they become very hot. Keep away from moving engine parts.
Why does the tester get hot?
The battery load tester produces heat during use due to the high current load. It is normal. Always allow at least 5 minutes cool-down between tests to prevent overheating and potential injury.
How do I clean and maintain the tester?
Clean the enclosure with a moist soft cloth only. Do not use solvents. Keep the terminal clamps clean and dry. Never immerse any part in liquid.

  1. The vehicles ignition must be disabled so the engine will not start. (Refer to the vehicle's instruction manual or contact a automotive professional technician for advice). The test works best if the starter cranks for 2 to 5 seconds.

  2. With an assistant cranking the engine, view the meter voltage reading.

  3. If the cranking volts during the test is less than the minimum cranking volts selected from the table, the starter current draw is excessive. If the starter cranks slowly, check for high resistance or poor connections.

OPERATION (cont.)

BATTERY ANALYSIS
LOAD TEST BATTERY CONDITION
Good (Green) Batterycapacity is OK. Battery may or may not be fully charged. Check specific gravity of battery to determine state of charge, check the electrical drain or possible charging system trouble.
Weak or Bad, but the Needle remains steady (Yellow or Red)Battery capacity is not satisfactory. Battery may be either defective or not fully charged. Check specific gravity to determine which condition exists. If charging does not bring specific gravity to full charge level, battery should be replaced.
Weak or Bad, but the Needle continues to fall (Yellow or Red)Battery may be either defective or very run down. Release the Load Test Switch and note volt meter reaction. Voltage recovery to 12 volt or above within seconds indicates a defective battery. Slow voltage recovery indicates run down condition. For best results, check specific gravity.
