recharging the battery the following indications “insufficient starting power, poor
starting power, very poor starting power or unsuitable for tests” appear, then the
battery must be replaced.
Clarification for the battery charge test:
During this test, the battery voltage is reduced through excessive
charge (a high current flows).
If the battery is OK, the voltage value lowers to the minimum volt‐
age.
If the battery is damaged or has low charge, then the battery volt‐
age will quickly drop below the minimum voltage.
After the test, this low voltage value will remain for a while; then,
the voltage will slowly increase.
