Chapter 5: 5-Minute Discharged Battery Test
This test is an out-of-vehicle dynamic response test in which a deeply-discharged battery can be
diagnosed in minutes instead of the hours needed to charge it. The EXP displays the option to perform
the test after a deep scan and before it arrives at the battery decision. You can also perform a dynamic
response test during the in-vehicle System Test using the vehicle’s charging system to apply the
charging current.
The test requires an:
• External high-current charger
• Amp clamp
