Current Draw Test: Notes
Do not check or charge a Battery -A- when the visual indicator has >>no color or is bright yellow<<. Jump starting must not be used!
There is a risk of explosion during testing, charging or jump starting.
These Batteries -A- must be replaced.
Make sure the correct charging mode is set on the battery charger so the current draw test is not inaccurate.
- Battery Charger VAS 5095A, refer to BATTERY, CHARGING WITH Battery Charger VAS 5095A .
- Battery Charger VAS 5900, refer to Battery Charger VAS 5900 .
- Battery Charger VAS 5903, refer to Battery Charger VAS 5903 .
In order to receive an indication as quickly as possible of the battery condition of discharged Batteries -A-, a conclusion can be made during the charging process using the Battery -A- current draw as to whether the Battery -A- should be replaced or charged completely.
The current draw test should always be performed if the test using the Battery Tester with Printer VAS 5097A had the following results:
- Starting power sufficient
- Starting power insufficient
- Starting power very insufficient
- Cannot be tested - charge the Battery -A- and perform the test again
- Battery Tester with Printer VAS 5097A does not turn on (no LED, no printout)
Depending on the test results Battery Tester with Printer VAS 5097A (refer to TEST RESULT EVALUATION ), additional test steps or work for a clear evaluation of the battery charge must be made.
By checking a current draw capacity on a Battery -A- during the charging procedure, it can be determined in a short time whether a partially discharged or severely discharged Battery -A- can become operable again by further charging, refer to SEVERELY DISCHARGED BATTERIES .
