Evaluating test result of battery load test
Evaluating test result of battery load test
Because of the high load on the battery during this test (a high current flows) the battery voltage drops.
t  If the battery is OK, the voltage value drops only to the minimum voltage.
t  If the battery is defective or has a low charge, the battery voltage quickly drops below the minimum voltage.
t  After the test is completed, this low voltage value remains over a longer period, and the voltage increases very slowly again.
t  Perform test once only. Repeating the test falsifies the result.
t  The tester requires approx. 30 minutes to cool down before carrying out another test or testing another battery to ensure the results are not falsified.
