Note: The BVA-350 performs a preliminary check, load tests
6 volt and 12 volt batteries and tests 12 Volt and 24 Volt starting
and charging systems. The following examples illustrated are
for a 12 Volt system. The BVA-350 automatically identifies
the appropriate voltage and displays the menu selection and
instructions needed for that system.
