Conductance Test Test the battery using the MCR-101 HD ADVANCED BAT- TERY CONDUCTANCE AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ANA- LYZER. Perform a battery test as follows: Connect the MCR-101 HD analyzer leads to the vehicle’s 1. battery. Follow the instructions in the analyzer’s instruction man- 2. ual to perform a battery test. The test results will include a decision on the battery’s condi- tion, the measured state of charge and the measured CCA. See Figure 8-30. The analyzer’s printer will provide you with a printout including one of five possible test results: GOOD BATTERY–return the battery to service. ● GOOD-RECHARGE–fully charge the battery and r
