1 Introduction

The BAT 135 Battery Tester is used to test 6 and 12 volt batteries, and to test 12 and 24 volt charging systems. The

suggested operation range is from 0 degrees Centigrade (32 degrees Fahrenheit) to 50 degrees Centigrade (122

degrees Fahrenheit) in ambient temperature.

2 Safety Warnings and Instructions

WARNING

This product can expose you to chemicals including arsenic, which is known to the State of California to

cause cancer. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

CAUTION

Do not expose the tester to rain or snow.

} Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal

operation. For this reason it is of utmost importance, if you have any doubt, that you read these instructions very

carefully each time you use your tester.

} To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions, those published by the battery manufacturer, and

the manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Observe cautionary markings

on these items.

} Another person should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a

lead acid battery.

} Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.

} Wear safety glasses and protective clothing.

} If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters your eye,

immediately flood the eye with running cold water for at least ten minutes and seek immediate medical attention.

} NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of the battery or engine.

} Be extra cautious to reduce the 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.

} Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a lead acid

battery. These items can produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or like to metal causing a

severe burns.

3 Paper Loading/Replacement

4 Test Preparation

1. Ensure that the area around the battery is well ventilated while the battery is being tested.

2. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with your eyes.

3. Inspect the battery for cracked or broken case or cover. If the battery is damaged, do not use the tester.

4. If the battery is not sealed maintenance free, add distilled water in each cell until the battery acid reaches the

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 the ground terminal from the battery first.

Make sure all accessories in the vehicle are off to prevent arcing.

5 Battery Testing

CAUTION

Before you test a battery in a vehicle, turn off the ignition and all accessories and loads. Close all

vehicle doors and the trunk lid.

Note: Each time you connect the tester to a battery, the tester will run a quick cable verification to ensure a

proper connection through the output cables to sensors in the clamp jaws. If the connection checks out OK, the

display will momentarily flash and proceed to the Home Screen. In operation the tester will only show three

results: CHECK CLAMPS / VOLTAGE HIGH / VOLTAGE LOW.

1. Make sure you have put 6 pcs 1.5V batteries into the battery chamber. Oxyride batteries are not recommended

because of the initial 1.7 Volt output. If the 1.5V battery runs out of power, the screen will display “POWER

LOW.” Replace those 6 pcs 1.5V batteries before starting the test.

Note: Nothing will be seen on the display until the tester is connected to a vehicle battery.

2. 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 lead to the vehicle positive battery terminal. Clamp on the

lead part of the terminal only, as clamping on the iron part of the terminal will lead to inaccurate test results.

8 Glossary

Gelled Electrolyte (GEL) Battery

A lead-acid electric storage battery that:

}Is sealed using special pressure valves and should never be opened.

}Is completely maintenance-free. (However, connections must be retorqued and the battery cleaned periodically.)

}Uses thixotropic gelled electrolyte.

}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).

}Is non-spillable, and therefore can be operated in virtually any position. (However, upside-down installation is

not recommended.)

Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) Battery

A lead-acid electric storage battery that:

}Is sealed using special pressure valves and should never be opened.

}Is completely maintenance-free. (However, connections must be retorqued and the battery cleaned periodically.)

}Has all of its electrolyte absorbed in separators consisting of a sponge-like mass of matted glass fibers.

}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).

}Is non-spillable, and therefore can be operated in virtually any position. (However, upside-down installation is

notrecommended.)

Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) Battery

A battery that is sealed Maintenance Free with a “Bunce” Valve or Valves in the top that opens when a preset pres-

sure is realized inside the battery and lets the excess gas pressure out. Then the valve resets itself.

Starting, Lighting, Ignition (SLI) Battery

A battery that performs three basic functions 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.

State of Health (SOH)

Percent of battery capacity remaining compared with the marked original battery capacity.

State of Charge (SOC)

Percent of battery actually charged.

Cold Cranking Amps (CCA)

The current in amperes which a new fully charged battery can deliver for 30 seconds continuously without the termi-

nal voltage falling below 1.2 volts per cell, after it has been cooled to 0 degrees F and held at that temperature. This

rating reflects the ability of the battery to deliver engine starting currents under winter conditions.

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.
