The BK Precision Model 600 manual provides instructions for setting up and operating the 12V SLA Battery Capacity Analyzer, detailing the connection procedure, selecting the appropriate AH capacity, conducting tests, and interpreting results. It also includes troubleshooting tips, such as ensuring correct polarity connections and avoiding voltage sources above 20V to prevent damage to the unit.
Manual Overview
The BK Precision Model 600 Battery Capacity Analyzer assesses the remaining capacity of 12V lead-acid batteries by selecting the appropriate amp-hour (AH) range and pressing the test button. The device operates without external power, using the battery under test (BUT) for power. The front panel includes controls for selecting AH range, display mode, and initiating tests. LEDs indicate the status of the device, such as readiness, test in progress, and reverse polarity connection. To conduct a test, connect the analyzer to the battery, ensuring correct polarity. Select the desired AH range and lock it by pressing any key other than the AH Range key or waiting 10 seconds. Press the Load Test key to start the test, and observe the results on the display. The device displays battery voltage by default, but the balance capacity can be viewed by pressing the Display Mode switch. Caution is advised to avoid exceeding a 20V input or connecting the unit to a battery in circuit.
Quick Issues Covered
- Reverse polarity error indicated by LED on Model 600.
- Calibration involves selecting and locking AH range.
- Schematics aid in tracing circuit for power-up issues.
Overview

Controls & Indicators
The front-panel controls and indicators for the BK Precision Model 600 are as follows:
1) AH Range: Key to select the correct AH range for the battery under test.
2) Select LED: Indicates that the user can select the AH range.
3) Locked LED: Indicates when the unit locks to a particular AH range set by the user.
4) Display Mode: Key to select the display mode, either as No load voltage or % balance capacity.
5) Batt. Voltage LED: Glows when the display indicates battery voltage.
6) % Balance Capacity LED: Glows when the remaining capacity is displayed.
7) Load Test: Key to start the test.
8) Ready LED: Glows steadily to indicate the unit is ready to conduct a test.
9) Test On LED: Glows for approximately 2 seconds when the battery test is carried out.
10) Reverse Polarity LED: Glows if the unit is connected to a battery in reverse polarity.
Installation / Setup
The source does not provide specific information on installation or setup highlights, wiring, clearances, calibration, or prerequisites.
Operation
The operation of the BK Precision Model 600 Battery Capacity Analyzer involves several steps. First, connect the analyzer to the battery under test by matching the positive and negative terminals correctly. The device powers up and performs a self-test. Next, select the appropriate AH capacity using the ‘AH Range’ key and lock the selection by pressing any other key or waiting for 10 seconds. To conduct a test, press the ‘Load Test’ key, which activates the ‘Test On’ LED for about 2 seconds. After the test, the ‘Ready’ LED blinks and then becomes steady. To observe the test results, press the ‘Display Mode’ switch to toggle between battery voltage and balance capacity percentage. Ensure not to exceed the maximum input voltage of 20V and do not connect the analyzer to a battery that is in circuit.
