The Conductance Profiling™ technology determines battery

cranking and Reserve Capacity testing. This additional process,

can take up to 60 seconds to complete.

IMPORTANT: Always begin each test by connecting

the Tester Pod clamps to the battery being tested. The

test begins as soon as the clamps are connected.

VIN Scanning

The DSS-5000 uses a camera built into the Controller handle to

scan the VIN of the vehicle being tested. This number is then

cross referenced with the original equipment manufacturer's

battery specifications stored in the tester's database and

displayed on the Controller screen.
