INTRODUCTION
• The Battery Tester is designed for measuring the internal impedance
and open-circuit voltage of the secondary battery including Nickel-metal
hydride battery (NiMH), Nickel-cadmium battery (NiCd), Lithium-ion
battery (Li-ion), Alkaline battery and Lead-Acid battery.
• AC four-terminal method to measure the internal impedance by
eliminating lead impedance and contact impedance to get the accurate
results.
• Dual display to show the internal impedance and voltage of the battery
simultaneously.
• It has 99 sets of composite comparator function, which can be set at
impedance and voltage values to get the reliable detection of battery
deterioration.
• Pin type leads, which can easily contact the battery electrodes supplied
as standard to get more accurate 4-terminal measurement.
OPERATION
Preparation
The following safety information must be observed to ensure maximum
personal safety during the operation of this tester.
• To avoid electric shock when replacing the batteries first disconnect the
leads from the object to be measured.
• When replacing the batteries, do not install old batteries with new ones
and do not mix different types of batteries.
• Check the battery polarity carefully when inserting the batteries.
• Do not short-circuit used batteries, disassemble them, or throw them in a
fire. Doing so may cause the batteries to explode.
• Be sure to dispose of used batteries properly.
1. Remove the battery cover.
2. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment.
