Test mode

General remarks Do not connect the charger to the mains supply during testing. In all tests, the charger
draws its supply from the battery being tested.
Once the charger has been connected to the battery, the following test phases run
automatically in sequence:
-
-
-
Testing the The charger measures the open circuit voltage of the battery. If the battery was not used
battery open for at least two hours, then this is referred to as open circuit voltage.
