WARNING
1.
Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous.
Batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery operation. For this reason, it is of utmost importance, if you have any doubt, that each time before using your tester, you read these instructions very carefully.
2.
To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these
instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Observe cautionary markings on these items.
3.
Do not expose the tester to rain or snow.
PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.
Someone should be within range of your voice or close
enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead acid battery.
2.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case
battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
3.
Wear safety glasses and protective clothing.
4.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash
immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least ten minutes and get medical attention immediately.
5.
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of
battery or engine.
6.
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool
onto the battery. It could spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause an explosion.
7.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces and watches when working with a lead acid battery. It can produce a short circuit current high enough
- GB.2-V1 -
to weld a ring or the like to metal causing a severe burn.
PREPARING TO TEST
1.
Be sure area around battery is well ventilated while
battery is being tested.
2.
Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion
from coming in contact with eyes.
3.
Inspect the battery for cracked or broken case or cover. If
battery is damaged, do not use tester.
4.
If the battery is not sealed maintenance free, add distilled
water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by the manufacturer. This helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill.
5.
If necessary to remove battery from vehicle to test,
always remove ground terminal from battery first. Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off to ensure you do not cause any arcing.
OPERATION & USE BATTERY TEST - BT701/BT747
1.
Before you test a battery in a vehicle, turn off the ignition,
all accessories and loads. Close all the vehicle doors and the trunk lid.
2.
Make sure you have put 1.5V*4pcs batteries into the
battery chamber. If the 1.5V battery runs out of power, screen will show “ REPLACE INTERNAL BATTERY“ or “POWER LOW”. Replace those 1.5V*4pcs batteries before starting the test.
Note that nothing will be seen on the display until the tester is connected to a vehicle battery.
3.
Make sure the battery terminals are clean. Wire brush
them if necessary. Clamp the black load lead to the vehicle negative battery terminal. Clamp the red load
- GB.3-V1 -
lead to the vehicle positive battery terminal.
4.
Paper load: Open the clear cover. Insert paper to the
paper feeding for auto running the paper into printer

functioning regulator. Check to ensure there is no loose connection and the ground connection is normal. If there is no connection issue, replace the regulator. Since most alternators have the regulator built-in, this will require you to replace the alternator. The normal high limit of a typical automotive regulator is 14.7 volts +/- 0.05. Check manufacturer specifications for the correct limit, as it will vary by vehicle type and manufacturer.

What is a GEL battery?
A gel battery is a lead-acid electric storage battery that: z is sealed using special pressure valves and should never
be opened.
z is completely maintenance-free.* z uses thixotropic gelled electrolyte. z uses a recombination reaction to prevent the escape of
hydrogen and oxygen gases normally lost in a flooded lead-acid battery (particularly in deep cycle applications).
z is non-spillable, and therefore can be operated in virtually
any position. However, upside-down installation is not recommend-ed.
Connections must be retorqued and the batteries should
GLOSSARY
be cleaned periodically.
What is an AGM battery?
An AGM battery is a lead-acid electric storage battery that: z is sealed using special pressure valves and should never
be opened.
z is completely maintenance-free.* z has all of its electrolyte absorbed in separators consisting
of a sponge-like mass of matted glass fibers.
z uses a recombination reaction to prevent the escape of
hydrogen and oxygen gases normally lost in a flooded lead-acid battery (particularly in deep cycle applications).
z is non-spillable, and therefore can be operated in virtually
any position. However, upside-down installation is not recommended.
Connections must be retorqued and the batteries should
be cleaned periodically.
What is a VRLA battery?
Valve Regulated Lead Acid Battery – This type of battery is sealed Maintenance Free with a “Bunce” Valve or Valves in the top of them that opens when a preset pressure is realized inside the battery and let’s the excess gas pressure out. Then the valve resets itself.
- GB.14-V1 -
What is a SLI battery?
These initials stand for Starting, Lighting and Ignition, which are the three basic functions which a battery has to perform on all normal vehicles. Batteries given this description will have been specifically designed for service on cars and trucks within a voltage controlled electrical system. Those SLI batteries which are intended for heavy haulage vehicles fitted with large diesel motors may often be called COMMERCIAL batteries. They have to be much more powerful and more robust than batteries intended for cars.
What is STATE OF HEALTH?
It means how much battery capacity is left (%) comparing with the marked original battery capacity.
What is STATE OF CHARGE?
It means how many percent of the battery is actually charged.
What is CCA (COLD CRANKING AMPS)?
The current in amperes which a new fully charged battery can deliver for 30 seconds continuously without the terminal voltage falling below 1.2volts per cell, after it has been cooled to 0OF and held at that temperature. This rating reflects the ability of the battery to deliver engine starting currents under winter conditions.
What is AMPERE-HOUR?
The unit of measurement of electrical capacity. A current of one ampere for one hour implies the delivery or receipt of one ampere-hour of electricity. Current multiplied by time in hours equals ampere-hours.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF WARRANTY
