PBT 600 – Battery Conductance Testeur
2. Charging Volt: Low. Check drive belt of the generator whether slip or running off.
Check the connection between generator and battery is normal or not. If both of the drive
belt and the connection are in good condition, follow the manufacturer's suggestion to
eliminate generator fault.
3. Charging Volt: High. Since most of the vehicle generators are using internal regulator,
the generator assembly has to be replaced.(Some old style cars are using external
regulator, then directly replace the regulator.) The normal high volt of the voltage
regulator is maximum 14.7±0.5V.If charging volt is too high, it will overcharge the battery.
Therefore, the battery life will be shortened and troubles will be caused.
4. No Volt Output. No generator volt output is detected.Check the generator connection
cable, the drive belt of generator and engine whether normal or not.
5. Diode Test: Through the test of charging current ripple, tester will find out whether the
diode is normal or not.When ripple volt is too high, it proves at least one diode is
damaged. Check and replace the diode.

12. 24V System Test
Ordinary 24V battery group combines two 12V batteries in series connection.
Therefore, when testing 24V battery, tester will prompt "24V Battery", divide the batteries
and test one by one. It's not necessary to break off the connection cable (Comparatively,
the parallel connected battery group must cut off the cathode connection), test method is
same as testing single 12V battery.
For 24V charging and cranking tests, connect the red clamp to the anode of 24V
battery group and the black clamp to the cathode of 24V battery group (NOTE: it's not the
anode and cathode of the single battery but battery group), select IN-VEHICLE, screen
displays "24V Battery", ignore the prompt, after 3 seconds, the tester will skip battery test
program and enter the cranking test directly. Follow the method of 12V system test to
complete the 24V charging and cranking tests. The test process is same as 12V system.
