Testing the Battery with the BCI

The Battery Condition Indicator (BCI) gives you a quick and accurate
indication of your battery’s charge condition. It allows you to determine
whether your battery needs to be charged, is not holding its charge, or
needs to be replaced or desulfated.

Always let the battery rest for minimum of 8 hours for most accurate
readings. Resting means that you do not charge, discharge or run the
engine for the 8 hours. Test the battery with the BCI only when your
engine is turned off.

Make sure the engine is turned off.

1.
Press the Push button on the BCI.

2.
See the table (next page) for an explanation of the lights.

3.
If no LEDs are lit, the battery can be considered dead and unlikely

4.
able to be restored.
