Using the GR8 Battery Diagnostic Station

NOTE:
  • For set up, customization, and other available features, refer to the GR8 USER'S MANUAL .
  • On the GR8, you can select two modes: DEALER INVENTORY or CUSTOMER VEHICLE.
    • DEALER INVENTORY: Use this mode for vehicles in dealer inventory. The GR8 charges the battery to 80% of its state-of-charge. If the battery condition is OK, the GR8 states the battery is GOOD. If you leave the GR8 attached to the battery, it changes to Top Off mode, and continues to charge the battery until it is at 100% of its state-of-charge.
    • CUSTOMER VEHICLE: In order to give a waiting customer quicker service, the GR8 charges the battery to 60% of its state-of-charge. If the battery condition is OK, the GR8 states the battery is GOOD. If you leave the GR8 attached to the battery, it changes to Top Off mode, and continues to charge the battery until it is at 100% of its state-of-charge.
  1. Connect the leads to the positive and negative terminal of the battery.
  2. Use the arrow keys to select Diagnostic, and follow the prompts.
    NOTE:
    • Make sure to enter the correct cold cranking ampere (CCA) rating of the battery. You can find the CCA printed on the label on the top of the battery. If the CCA rating is not entered correctly, the test result will not be accurate.

  3. Here are the three possible battery conditions:
    • Good-Battery: The battery state of health is good and state of charge is at least 60%.
    • Replace Battery: The battery condition is poor. Replace it.
