Current Draw Test: Notes

WARNING:

Batteries that have a light yellow visual indicator do not have to be tested or charged. Jump starting must not be used!

There is a risk of explosion during testing, charging or jump starting.

These batteries must be replaced.

NOTE:

Make sure the correct charging mode is set on the charger so the current draw test is not inaccurate.

Battery Charger :VAS5095A  . Refer to BATTERY, CHARGING WITH Battery Charger .

Battery Charger :VAS5900  . Refer to Battery Charger .

Battery Charger :VAS5903  . Refer to Battery Charger .

Battery Charger :VAS5908  . Refer to Battery Charger .

In order to receive an indication as quickly as possible of the battery condition of discharged batteries, a conclusion can be made during the charging process using the battery current draw as to whether the battery should be replaced or charged completely.

NOTE:

In the case of the :VAS6161  , the current draw test must always be conducted when the test result "conduct current draw test" appears in the display.
