- Manual de usuario (este documento)
2.2 Características principais
- Comprobación do estado da batería: Scans and displays the overall status of a 12V auto battery, including State of Charge (SOC), State of Health (SOH), voltage, internal resistance, and Cold Cranking Amps (CCA).
- Alternator & Starting System Tester: Reads ripple, loaded, and unloaded voltage to assess alternator performance and checks cranking voltage and time for starting capability.
- Plug and Play & High Accuracy: Tests batteries (even dead ones) in-vehicle or out-of-vehicle with high accuracy (close to 0.01V with overall accuracy close to 99.9%).
- Compatibilidade ampla: Compatible with all 12V lead-acid batteries from 100 to 2000 CCA (Regular Flooded, AGM Flat Plate, AGM Spiral, GEL, EFB).
- Características de seguridade: Includes polarity reverse protection and is spark-proof with no heat connection.
3. Configuración
Before using the Veepeak 1220 Battery Tester, ensure the battery terminals are clean and free of corrosion for accurate readings.
- Identify the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on the 12V battery.
- Conecta o cl vermelloamp of the tester to the positive (+) battery terminal.
- Conecta o cl negroamp of the tester to the negative (-) battery terminal.
- The tester will automatically power on once connected. The main menu will appear on the screen.
Nota: The device features polarity reverse protection, meaning it will not be damaged if the clamps are connected incorrectly. However, always strive for correct connection for safety and proper operation.

- Introduza o arranque en frío Amps (CCA) rating of your battery. This information is usually found on the battery label. Use the Up/Down arrows to adjust the value and OK to confirm.
- The tester will perform the test and display the results, including SOH, SOC, internal resistance, and voltage. It will also indicate if the battery is "GOOD BATTERY", "RECHARGE", or "REPLACE".
4.2 Proba de arranque
Esta proba avalía a capacidade da batería para arrincar o motor.
Figura 4: Cranking Test in progress. The screen shows cranking time and voltage.
- From the Main Menu, select "2. Cranking Test" and press OK.
- The screen will prompt "Start Engine".
- Arranca o motor do vehículo.
- The tester will automatically detect the cranking event and display the cranking time and voltage. It will indicate if the cranking is "GOOD" or "LOW".
4.3 Proba do sistema de carga
This test checks the alternator and the vehicle's charging system.
Figura 5: Charging System Test screen showing loaded, unloaded voltage, and ripple.
- From the Main Menu, select "3. Charging Test" and press OK.
- The screen will prompt for a "Ripple Test". Press OK.
- The screen will then prompt "Increase RPM to 2500 R/min and keep it 5 seconds. Press OK to continue."
- With the engine running, increase the engine RPM to approximately 2500 for 5 seconds. It is recommended to have a second person assist with this step.
- Press OK. The tester will display the loaded voltage, vol. descargadotage, and ripple. It will indicate if the charging is "HIGH", "NORMAL", or "LOW".
5. Mantemento
- Keep the tester clean and dry. Wipe it with a soft, damp pano se é necesario.
- Garde o probador nun lugar fresco e seco, lonxe da luz solar directa e de temperaturas extremas.
- Inspeccione regularmente os cables e o clampComprobe se hai algún sinal de dano ou desgaste. Substitúao se é necesario.
- Ensure the battery terminals are clean before testing to prevent inaccurate readings.
6 Solución de problemas
| Problema | Causa posible | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| O probador non se acende. | Mala conexión aos terminais da batería; Vol. da bateríatage moi baixo. | Asegurar clamps are securely connected. Check battery voltage with a voltmeter; if below 9V, charge the battery before testing. |
| Lecturas inexactas. | Corroded battery terminals; Incorrect CCA input. | Clean battery terminals. Verify the correct CCA rating for your battery. |
| "LOW" cranking result. | Weak battery; Issues with starter motor. | Recharge or replace the battery. Consult a professional mechanic if the issue persists. |
| "LOW" or "HIGH" charging result. | Alternator malfunction; Loose or corroded connections in charging system. | Inspect alternator and charging system connections. Consult a professional mechanic for diagnosis and repair. |
