Test mode
General Do not connect the charger to the grid during testing. In all tests, the charger draws its
supply from the battery being tested.
WARNING!
Danger due to exposed, rotating vehicle parts.
This can result in serious injury and damage to property.
▶
When working in the vehicle's engine compartment, take care that hands, hair, items
of clothing and charging leads do not come into contact with moving parts, e.g. fan
belt, fan, etc.
Once the charger has been connected to the battery, the following test phases run auto-
matically in sequence:
-
Testing the battery open circuit voltage
- Battery starting capability test (only on chargers for motor vehicle applications)
- Generator test (only on chargers for motor vehicle applications)
Please note:
All battery and alternator test results are for information only and may differ from the
actual values.
The charger checks the entire system. The results are therefore to be taken as recom-
mendations only.
Testing the bat-
tery open circuit
voltage The charger measures the open circuit voltage of the battery. If the battery was not used
for at least two hours, then this is referred to as open circuit voltage.
