Chapter 8: New Battery Test
EXP-800
The PDI Battery Test in the Main Menu enables you to quickly
check new batteries in your inventory. The test can verify up
to 100 batteries in succession using the CCA rating and units
or JIS part number that you provide. This test differs from the
Battery Test in that the decision is either pass or fail. Neither
decision will tell you that a battery is bad, but rather that the
measured voltage and CCA fall in or out of your requirements.
IMPORTANT:
The
New Battery Test does not produce a test
code.

longer be able to test until you clear all results from
memory.

ps 6 through 9
