INFINITI; TESTING JIS-TYPE & CCA-TYPE BATTERIES
APPLIED VEHICLES: All Infiniti vehicles
SERVICE INFORMATION
Infiniti vehicles equipped with standard lead/acid batteries use one of two different types with unique battery rating specifications: JIS & CCA.
^ JIS = Japan Industrial Standard, used for Japan produced batteries
^ CCA = Cold Cranking Amps, standard for North American produced batteries
IMPORTANT:
^ JIS batteries have different testing specifications than CCA batteries.
^ If you must use the GR8 Battery Tester in a mode other than MODEL mode, JIS Mode MUST ALWAYS BE USED for JIS batteries otherwise an
incorrect result will occur. NEVER test a JIS battery using the CCA test in the GR8; the test software in the GR8 is different for JIS and CCA
modes. ANY CCA value you may have for a JIS-type battery is inaccurate for testing purposes.
ALWAYS test with the GR8 using the MODEL mode (if available).
^ Selecting MODEL and vehicle type will automatically select the proper JIS or CCA value for the Original Equipment battery.
^ If the applicable vehicle is not listed, update the GR8 to make sure it has the most recent data package.
^ If the applicable vehicle still is not listed:
1) Determine which type of battery (CCA or JIS) is installed in the vehicle. .
2) Select CCA or JIS in the GR8 based on the type of battery installed.
