I have a very similar battery tester. It's FAR better than just hooking up a voltmeter.
SOH = State of Health : that gives a percentage of "life" on the battery.
SOC = State of Charge : an immediate indicator of charge.
MR (or RES) = Internal RESistance or Milli-Ohm Resistance (Depends on the brand) : an indicator of the battery's internal resistance which shows how much is left of the battery. I think the testers use this to extrapolate an SOH reading. It's hard to get an interpretation of what resistance level is good and what is bad because each battery is different.

If anyone has better knowledge of about the resistance levels of a 12v flat-plate AGM, please share. ;)

Should be less than 4mOhm

Dealer said battery was bad and when the voltage gets low enough the computer shuts the transmission down (something to that effect). They replaced battery under warranty. I'm still shocked that a dying battery means it might take you out of drive into neutral while driving...seems like a massive safety concern

Have you had this issue return? I have the same problem and so are a few guys on another thread. Did the new battery fix the issue completely?

Not sure why I never got a notification on this quote reply. Sorry! No, I have not had the issue since the new battery. Seems crazy to me still, but running like Pittsburgh ever since.
