HOW TO TEST
TESTING PROGRAMS AVAILABLE
•B A T T E R Y – Reveals a battery’s current charge level.
•STARTPOWER – Monitors a battery’s output during the strain of engine cranking, to
evaluate overall condition.
• ALTERNATOR – Establishes whether a vehicle’s charging system is correctly
charging the battery or not.
BEFORE TESTING
1. Read the SAFETY section in the manual to make sure you connect/disconnect the unit
to the battery/safely.
2. Before doing the STARTPOWER or ALTERNATOR tests, make sure the battery is
fully charged. If it isn’t, false results may occur. Before doing a BATTERYtest, ensure
ambient temperature is at least 5°C and that the battery has not been charged – by a
mains charger or the vehicle – for at least an hour before testing.

TESTING
(MAINSPOWERNOTREQUIRED)
1. Connect the charger to the battery. Lamp 4, 5, and 6 illuminate in sequence to show
the charger is in Testing Mode and ready.
2. PresstheMODE-button(3)tomovebetweenthetestprograms:BATTERY(9),
STARTPOWER(10),ALTERNATOR (11).
BATTERY
1. Select BATTERY(9)usingMODE-button(3).
2. After a few seconds the unit will show the results.

1. Select STARTPOWER(10)usingMODE-button(3).
2. Crank the engine over as soon as possible. Continue cranking for a few seconds, or
until the engine starts.

TIPS
1. Iftheerrorlamp(2)immediatelyilluminates,thebatteryisincorrectlyconnected.Unplug
the charger, correct the connections to the battery, and return to step 1.
2. If the lamp don’t illuminate, this may be because the battery is so discharged it cannot
support the unit. If so, fully charge the battery.
3.If mains mains voltage is detected, the MXS 5.0 TEST&CHARGE automatically enters
ChargingMode.PresstheMODE-button(3)fortwosecondstoswitchbacktoTesting
Mode, as signified by an illumination sequence in lamp 4–6.
4. Start Power Test

discarding a battery, it’s worth charging it using the charger’s Recond Mode and trying
the STARTPOWER test again. Batteries failing this test in warm weather will almost
certainly fail completely when temperatures drop.
