3. automatic identification mode (factory default for this mode): the tester automatically identifies the type of test battery, and select the best termination voltage and discharge mode, showing the 2 seconds after the termination of the voltage into the test program.
3. The manual termination voltage setting mode: this mode need to manually set the termination voltage, press the "S++", "S--" buttons to change the battery end voltage (long time press the buttons can quickly increase and decrease digital), which P*.*u table continuous current mode test, b*.*u classic intermittent current test pattern (mainly for 2 line test battery offset line resistance effects, such as P4.5u represents a continuous current test, termination voltage of 4.5V. Setting range for b1.0u-b6.0u and P1.0u-P6.0u, note that when the four wire test is turned on, the test mode is not supported! Set the voltage after the termination of the & "SK" start test.
4. test during the early stage of tester lines and battery diagnosis, if the line or the battery is not appropriate, the tester will not be tested, showing diagnostic trouble codes Err* (specific code meaning and the methods of processing see described earlier). Diagnosis by will enter a normal part of the test, run lamp is lit, the tester to test normal discharge, digital tube will to A.H was 2 seconds, one second W-H, a second battery voltage, a second discharge current time and sequence round of significant numerical unit indicating lamp synchronous changes. At the end of the battery test, run the light will go out, digital tube display will stay in A.H was numerical and flash buzzer also issued a short alarm (buzzer open).
5. The test is completed, press the A "SK" button to stop flashing and alarm, press the "S++" or "S--" keys refer to the three basic results of the test battery: battery capacity (ah), a battery energy capacity (WH) and battery discharge process platform voltage (constant pressure), once again pushed the "SK" a button will clear display back to the initial current setting state.

Q: I test 18650 lithium batteries, select 1A, it should be said that the discharge after the termination of the battery voltage is 3V, why do I have to test after the termination of the battery voltage 3.8V?
A: This phenomenon is known as the battery voltage rise, because in the selected 1A current will discharge the battery to below 3V, tester termination of the discharge, when the battery is not completely clean, and part of the residual capacity, just this part of the charge has not in the 1A current long time maintain battery voltage large from a 3V, as in tester is connected in parallel with a voltage meter, a test, when the load current of battery, will see voltage decreased rapidly. Tips: the same types of batteries, in the same set of discharge mode, after the termination of the battery voltage rises, the lower the better, this mean that the battery can emit capacity closer to the internal chemical capacity and high quality new 18650 battery, 1A discharge after the battery voltage rise to 3.2-3.4V, and inferior 18650 batteries often will rise to 3.7V, scrapped laptop battery removed the battery, even rose to 4.0V!
Q: why is my meter measuring terminal voltage is 3.60V, the test is the wheel of the display voltage is 3.85V?
A: ZB206+ in default mode automatic recognition and the battery used is intermittent discharge mode, each discharge 5 seconds will cut off a discharge current, and at this time of detecting the battery voltage, this voltage approximately equal in the discharging process of the battery internal chemical voltage (test methods for intellectual electronic 2010 original), the voltage than the load state voltage to high, multimeter can not be measured (unless you use an oscilloscope). The test method can effectively avoid the influence of the voltage loss of the circuit resistance and contact resistance on the test result, and can get the accurate result in the most efficient way. If need to round of significant voltage with the multimeter test voltage is consistent, then please with reference to the full version for use, turn off the automatic recognition mode, manually set the termination voltage for P*.*u state can be, but this test results by line impact bias may will be great! In general is mainly used to test the power supply (mobile power test is P4.5u), such as the need for high precision measurement of battery performance, it is recommended to cooperate with the four wire test frame using four wire mode test.
Q: I use the same section of the battery, charging with a charger, and choose the same discharge mode, but the two results are not the same, and sometimes even different, which is how the case?
A: The effective capacity of the single battery discharge process in addition to and termination voltage and current of, and charging condition, storage time and temperature in the process of discharge and cell activation of many factors about, take temperature, the same 18650 battery, charged in 25 degrees Celsius and 0 degrees Celsius with patterns of the same discharge, the result will be a very different, especially old 18650 battery, the differences are even up to 2-5 times!
Q: I use the tester 2A current test cell phone batteries, why only measure a few mAh capacity on the termination of the?
A: Non smart battery typically support only 0.6-1A discharge current, large screen smartphone battery can support the current 1.5-2.0A. If the discharge current over the General Assembly lead to battery protection board over-current protection, so in the mobile phone battery tests, non intelligent machines please select less than 0.5A current testing, big Zhi Ping can machine to choose 0.5-1.5A discharge current can be.
