2. Test environment and structure

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 difficult 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.
