Battery Load Test Results

By placing the battery under a strong load during the Battery - A-

load test, the battery voltage will be reduced.
♦ If the Battery - A- is good, the voltage drops only to the speci‐

fied minimum voltage.

♦ If the Battery - A- is defective or weakly charged, the battery

voltage will drop very quickly to below the specified minimum

voltage.

♦ After testing, this low voltage level is maintained for a lengthy

period and only increases again slowly.

♦ Only perform the test once. Repeating the test will not produce

accurate results.

♦ In order to be able to test another/additional Battery - A- , the

Battery Tester with Printer - VAS5097A- must cool down for

approximately 30 minutes for the test result to be correct.

General Information

WARNING

Risk of injury. Follow all warning messages and safety pre‐

cautions.

Refer

⇒ “1.3 Warnings and Safety Precautions”, page 3

It is not necessary to disconnect or remove the Battery - A- when
