7 Batterybox (Optional)

7.1 Product Summary

MAXIMUS2.0 provides an optional function of automotive battery
test, which adopts the latest state-of-the-art conductance testing
technology in the world and can test vehicle's battery status. Two
testing environments (Inside the Vehicle and Outside the Vehicle)
are available and applicable to battery test. In addition to battery test,
charging system and actuation system test can be done while Inside
the Vehicle is selected.
It supports various battery standards and specifications, including
CCA, DIN, IEC, EN, JIS, SAE and GB etc. It is specifi cally designed
to help car owner, repair workshop, battery factory use battery test
instrument properly and determine whether the battery is normal or
not.
Battery test aims to check starting plumbic acid storage batteries for
vehicles, ship, boats and aviations, etc. It can test all kinds of batteries
complying with CCA, DIN, JIS, EN, GB and SA standards. For detailed
test standards, please refer to Table 7-1.

7.2 Test Environment

7.2.1 Test environment
Inside the vehicle test indicates that the battery connects to loading
devices, such as engine, etc. After doing battery test, it can perform
charging system and actuation system test, which is proceeded as a
whole simultaneously. Charging system and actuation system test is
not required but must not be performed before battery test. Because it
is diffi cult for vehicle technicians to judge where is faulty exactly if they
have the faintest idea of battery's status itself.
Outside the vehicle test indicates that the battery is disconnected
from all loading devices on vehicles. Therefore, only battery test is
supported in this condition.

Descriptions
Good battery Indicates battery is normal.
Replace battery Indicates that battery is aged or becomes
rejected, or battery life cycle approaches to
be exhausted. In this case, battery voltage
appears to be normal, but battery itself is
not well, i.e. battery polarity board has been
completely vulcanized or aged. Please
replace battery immediately.
Good-recharge Stands for low battery. The battery is good
itself.
