Measured value Measure to be performed
No load voltage ≥ 12.5 V No load voltage is OK, perform
a battery load test ⇒ page 10 .
No load voltage < 12.5 V Charge battery ⇒ page 15 .
If the battery has been recharged as a result of the no load test,
proceed as follows:
– Wait at least 2 hours. The battery must not be charged or dis‐
charged within this period.
– Check battery no load voltage again with hand multimeter -
V.A.G 1526 B- .
If after the loading process the battery no load voltage is < 12.5 V,
renew battery ⇒ page 31 .
2.6 Battery tester with printer -VAS 5097 A-
WARNING
Danger of injury! Observe warning notices and safety regula‐
tions ⇒ page 2 !
It is not necessary to remove or disconnect battery when using
battery tester with printer -VAS 5097 A- .
Battery tester with battery tester with printer -VAS 5097 A- can be
used to test 12 V starter batteries according to
♦ 80 - 499 A A low-temperature test current according to DIN
(Deutsche Industrie Norm (German Industrial Standard))
1)
♦ 95 - 574 A A low-temperature test current according to IEC
(International Engineering Consortium)
♦ 136 - 855 A A low-temperature test current according to EN/
SAE (European Norm/Standard of Automotive Engineers)
1) Batteries with a low-temperature test current of 520 A according to DIN can be
tested using setting for 499A according to DIN.
For test purposes the battery is loaded with a current which is
similar to the starting current required to start the vehicle. The
battery is assessed on this loading and the result is printed out.
