Stopping
BATTST
To stop a BATTST in progress, re-execute the BATTST local
program. You will be given an opportunity to abort the test.
Aborting BATTST requires the EF5XX to reset itself.
Digital recommends running the BATTST utility at least once
per year, or whenever a "Battery Maintenance Error" is logged
to the error log. This error is logged when EF5XX charging
and battery test firmware detect potential problems with the
charging or discharging of the batteries.
The result of the BATTST utility is checked by examining the
BAT_TEST parameter with the PARAMS utility. BAT_TEST
gives the time, in minutes and seconds, that the batteries ran
under the BATTST utility. A time:
Greater than 30 minutes indicates a good battery
Less than 30 minutes indicates that you should call Digital
Services to replace the battery
