Conducting A Battery Test - VOLTCRAFT VC252 Operating Instructions Manual

12.12 Conducting a battery test

The battery test is designed to test standard 1.5 V and 9 V block batteries. The bat-
teries are measured at a low load to ensure an objective measurement. The display
indicates the actual terminal voltage under load. If you wish to test a rechargeable
battery, select the range that is closest to the battery voltage (e.g. 1.5 V if the re-
chargeable battery voltage is 1.2 V).
1. Switch on the DMM and select the measurement range 1.5V BATT or 9V BATT.
2. Plug the red lead into BATT terminal and
the black lead into the COM terminal.
"BATT" will appear on the display.
3. Connect the red measuring probe to the
positive battery terminal and the black
probe to the negative terminal.
4. The terminal voltage of the battery will be
shown on the display.
"OL" indicates that the measuring
Æ
range has been exceeded.
5. After taking a measurement, remove
the leads from the measured object and
switch off the DMM.
