Charging System Test

1.Connect clamps to battery for basic load test.

2.Operate engine at fast idle.

3.Note meter reading with all electrical accessories off. It should be in green “good” band in “charging system” scale.

4.With headlights and blower motor on high, meter should remain in green “good” band.

5.If meter reads red band or outside the charging system zone, trouble is indicated.

NOTE

On initial use of your Battery Tester, smoke may develop. This is caused by the lubrication burning off the heater coils. This will not affect the performance of your Battery Tester and will diminish upon further use.
