Product Description
The ZTS MBT-LA2 provides a comprehensive means of
testing the State of Charge and battery condition for 2V,
4V, 6V, 8V, and 12V lead acid battery types (SLA, AGM,
Gel, Wet). This microprocessor-controlled instrument
tests popular batteries using a patented, high accuracy
pulse load test. A fully automatic test cycle, indicated
by ‘running’ LEDs, begins when the TEST key is pressed.
After each pulse-load test, a single LED indicates per-
centage of remaining battery capacity. Batteries will
not be harmed by repeated testing or by maintaining
connection after a test cycle. This test set requires 4
AA batteries (not included).
Setup
1) Locate and open the battery compartment cover then
install 4 AA alkaline batteries, carefully noting the
proper orientation. Replace the battery cover.
2) Install test leads. Press the sheathed banana plugs
firmly into the appropriate jacks (note color), rotate
the plugs slightly to insure complete seating.
3) Turn on the power switch located on the right side of
the tester. One of the MODE LEDs should light.
NOTE: For proper operation, the MBT-LA2 must be
powered on before connecting the test leads to a
battery.
Testing Batteries
1) Use the MODE button to select the correct range for
the size and voltage of the battery to be tested.
