To obtain an accurate reading, gently tap the charge indicator with a screwdriver handle or rock vehicle slightly. By doing this, the air bubbles that occur
normally during battery charging (even during vehicle operation) that adversely affect charge indicator reading will be displaced. Thereby, the color
indicator of the visual indicator is more accurate.
NOTE:
-
Especially when a battery is charged, including when the battery is charged while driving, air bubbles can form under the visual indicator. These
bubbles may cause color indicator of the visual indicator to read inaccurately.
-
As the charge indicator is located in a single cell, the indication is only valid for that cell. An exact assessment of battery condition should always
be confirmed by performing battery test. See: Battery Load Test With Battery Tester With Printer VAS 5097A
-
The visual indicator can be installed at various locations on top of battery.
Two color displays are possible:
-
Black, electrolyte level OK
-
If there is no color at all or if the color is bright yellow, this means the electrolyte level is too low. The battery must be replaced.

CAUTION:
-
Risk of injury. Observe warning notes and safety precautions.
-
Batteries that have a colorless or light yellow visual indicator must not 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.
-
In order to prevent damage to the battery or vehicle, observe battery type descriptions and notes.
