Chapter 4: Battery Test

Additional Test Requirements

For a more decisive result the tester may ask for additional 

information or probe deeper into the battery’s condition. The 

following messages and instructions may appear before the 

analyzer displays the results of your test. 

System Noise

To perform a correct measurement the tester requires 

the vehicle to be in rest. After the car has been driven 

some vehicle specific systems might still be active in the 

background. The tester will detect this and displays the 

message SYSTEM NOISE. When this message appears switch 

off all consumers(radio, airconditioning) and remove the key 

from the ignition. As soon as there is no more  activity in the 

vehicle the tester will continue testing and display the test 

result.

Unstable Battery Detected

A battery that is weak or that has just been charged may retain 

enough electrical activity to be detected by the analyzer 

and will adversely affect the test results. A fully charged 

battery should stabilize quickly, after which the analyzer 

will automatically retest. Weak batteries should be charged 

and retested. If the battery is fully charged, check the clamp 

connections.

Surface Charge

The battery can hold a surface charge if the engine has been 

running or after the battery has been charged. The tester may 

prompt you to remove the surface charge before it displays a 

test result.
1.  Follow the instructions indicating when to turn the head-

lights on and off (IN-VEHICLE)

2.  The tester will resume testing after it detects that the sur-

face charge is removed.

Deep Scan Test

In some cases the tester may need to further analyze the 

battery to determine whether the battery should be replaced 

or it has a significant chance to be recovered. It will then 

conduct a Deep Scan Test of the battery for a few seconds.  

This test will typically be performed on batteries that are in a 

low state of charge.
