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 1-26. 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-

STATE OF CHARGE 100% 75% 50% 25% 0%

BATTERY TEST Three different procedures may be performed to provide a good indicator of battery condition: a voltage test, a conduc- tance test, or a load test. A battery may be tested, whether fully charged or not, via conductance test. In order to perform a load test, however, the battery must be fully charged. VOLTMETER TEST The voltmeter test provides a general indicator of battery con- dition. Check the voltage of the battery to verify that it is in a 100% fully charged condition. Refer to Table 1-5. If the open circuit (disconnected) voltage reading is below 12.6V, charge the battery and then recheck th
