After all tests are complete the battery voltage and state-of-charge in CCA (Cold

Cranking Amps) are displayed on the bottom line of the display as shown in the

sample below. This is the battery available power at its present temperature and

state of charge.

NOTE: A flashing asterisk (*) next to CCA reading indicates that vehicle noise

was detected during an in-vehicle battery test. The engine and all accessory

loads must be turned off. If the problem remains, disconnect battery from the

vehicle and retest.

If a CCA reading higher than 2000 (analyzer maximum limit) is measured, 2000

and OVER will alternate on the display. If a CCA reading lower than 50 (analyzer

minimum limit) is measured, 50 and UNDER will alternate.

A new battery, when fully charged and at 70°F (21°C), will have a CCA rating that

is greater than the CCA rating on the battery label.
