NOTE:

For Warranty repairs -

You must use regionally required battery test equipment for warranty repairs.

For accurate test results the battery must be disconnected from the vehicle and the equipment connected directly to the battery posts. When setting up the equipment, select "Out of Vehicle" and then the correct battery type (Flooded, AGM or Stop/Start AGM) and rated CCA (both from the battery label) must be entered.

Failure to obtain the correct connections during the test may result in a failed test on a good battery.
Use the Out of Vehicle test (battery disconnected with test equipment connected directly to the posts) for each battery when testing a vehicle with dual batteries.
