directly at the battery.

All test steps and entries must be performed thoroughly, otherwise the test result will be distorted.
Test prerequisites:
^
Tester with software release 2.0
^
Ignition off
^
Rotary light switch in position "0"
^
Audio component (e.g. radio) switched off
^
Battery voltage higher than 12.4 V
^
Good contact of the tester on the battery
If the message "Surface voltage" is displayed during the test, the tester has detected that the battery voltage is apparently too high. This increased voltage
can be reduced as follows:
^
Battery installed: Decrease increased voltage as per the specifications of the tester (e.g. switch on driving lights).
^
Battery removed: reduce increased voltage using a suitable volt/amp(s) tester (load battery for approx. 60 s with 20 A to 30 A amps).
As an example, the test procedure for passenger cars is described below.
