INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
• Turn on power switch (located to the right hand side of
the unit)
• Select the type of battery to be tested by pressing the
MODE key until the LED next to the correct battery type
is illuminated
• Connect the test leads to the battery terminals ensuring a
good connection with the red lead connecting to the
positive terminal (+) and the black lead connecting to the
negative battery terminal (-)
• Press the TEST key
• LEDs will flash in sequence indicating the test is in progress.
When the test is complete one LED will remain lit indicating
the battery’s state of charge or remaining capacity
• Make two tests at five second intervals to verify that the
battery has stabilised and is delivering consistent power
• Turn off power switch

WHY PULSE LOAD TESTING?
Battery voltage alone is not a reliable parameter for determining
remaining capacity and condition; it also does not indicate whether
the battery will be able to deliver power when placed under load.
Rather than simply displaying a voltage reading, cellchecker
™
determines a battery’s remaining power capacity by measuring its
ability to maintain voltage levels while under load. The tester then
makes an assessment based on these readings and displays the
remaining percentage capacity of the battery.
Pulse load testers verify that a battery can deliver power by actually
making it deliver power. The duration and repetition of the load test
cycle varies depending on the battery type being tested. Factors
that are considered when determining the size and duration of
the pulse load are battery design (high rate or low rate), battery
chemistry, and the battery’s typical application. This helps ensure
that the power demand on the battery during the pulse load test
will be comparable to what the battery experiences under normal
operation conditions.
HIGHEST STANDARDS
“…it is imperative to determine whether a battery would be able to
sustain the necessary load for the required amount of time without
failing. Practically, only load testing can achieve this properly…”
“…battery testers that test a battery under no load do not accurately
simulate the battery’s performance in operating conditions…”
“…under load, the battery shall perform in accordance with the
battery manufacturer’s specifications…”
