Evaluating test result
Because of the high load on the battery during this test (a high
current flows) the battery voltage drops.
♦ If the battery is OK the voltage value only lowers to the mini‐
mum voltage.
♦ If the battery is defective or has a low charge the battery volt‐
age quickly drops below the minimum voltage.
♦ This low voltage value remains over a long period and the
voltage only increases again slowly after the test has been
completed.
♦ Perform test once only. Repeating the test falsifies the results.

Comments concerning test print out
1 - Measuring range set on tester.
2 - Diagram -arrow- indicates battery condition.
3 - Test result.
4 - Battery voltage during load test.
5 - Vehicle data and date. Must be completed by test person‐
nel.
Note
♦
The print out is required for warranty purposes.
♦
Perform test once only. Repeating the test falsifies the results.
2.7.2
Assessing test results
Battery tester print out
Measure to be performed
Starting power very good
Battery OK
Start output good
Battery OK
Starting power sufficient
Charge battery
⇒ page 15
and repeat battery load test
3)
Starting power poor
Starting power very poor
Not capable of being tested
3) If after battery has been recharged “Starting output sufficient”, “Starting output
poor”, “Starting output very poor” or “Cannot be tested” is shown, the battery
should be renewed.
