[Charge and Retest method after battery charge]

Battery charge

Set battery charger to ‘Auto Mode’ (The Mode that charging current drops as the battery charges.) and charge battery until charging current down close to zero or the charger alerts you with an alarm when charge is complete.

(Minimum charging time recommended: More than 3 hours with Auto Mode that explained above)

•

If battery is not fully charged, battery surface voltage will be high while the amount of current charged (CCA) in battery is low. If you measure the battery under this condition, tester may misjudge that battery sulfation occurred because the amount of current in battery is too low in comparison with battery voltage.

* Surface voltage: When battery is charged electrolyte temperature increases and chemical reaction become active resulting in an excessive increase of battery voltage.

It is known that it takes approximate one day to subside this increased surface voltage completely.

Battery Test after charge

Do not test battery right after the charge. Test battery after battery surface voltage has subsided as instructed in the following procedure.

(1)	When battery charge is complete, install the battery in the vehicle.

(2)	Put IG key to ON position and turn on head lamp with low beam, and wait 5 minutes. (Discharge for 5 minutes)

(3)	Turn off the head lamp and IG key, and wait 5 minutes. (Waiting for 5 minutes)

(4)	Remove +, - cable from the battery and test battery.

•	Whenever filing a claim for battery, the print out of the battery test results must be attached.

Starter Test Procedure

7.	After the battery test, press ENTER immediately for the starter test.

8.	Start the engine.

Cranking voltage and starter test results will be displayed on the screen.
