Product Description
The ZTS MBT-MIL.SF Multi-Battery Tester™ (MBT-MIL.SF) is a mi-
croprocessor controlled instrument designed to test many popular
battery types including alkaline, lithium, silver oxide, as well as
rechargeable types such as NiMH and Li-Ion. This tester computes
the battery’s remaining power capacity using a fully automatic, high
accuracy Pulse Load test. U.S. Patents 6,823,274 and D569285.
A pulse load test begins when a battery is placed in contact with
the tester’s terminals. After the automatic test cycle, indicated by
‘running’ LEDs, percentage of remaining battery power capacity is
indicated on the LED bar display. Batteries will not be harmed by
repeated testing or by holding contact after a test cycle.
Getting Ready to Test Batteries
Install 4 x AA new alkaline batteries into your tester’s battery com-
partment, carefully noting correct orientation. The 100% green LED
will blink for approximately 5 seconds during initial start-up, indicat-
ing that the tester’s internal 4 AA batteries are good. Replace the
battery cover and your MBT-MIL.SF Multi-Battery Tester™ is ready
to use.
NOTE: This tester has a self-test low battery power indicator. Re-
place the tester’s 4 AA batteries (internal) if only the two red LEDs
(10% & 20%) blink alternately during initial start-up or during a
test cycle.
Testing Batteries
There are no settings to make prior to testing. Select the proper
terminal for the battery you plan to test, then follow these simple
steps:
1. Place the battery’s positive (+) terminal on the appropriate
tester terminal. Battery types are clearly labeled next to each
contact terminal.
2. Hold the built-in probe tip firmly against the battery’s negative
(-) terminal. If you are using a twin terminal set, for example
9-volt, the built-in probe is not used.
