Procedure

WARNING

Do not check or charge a Battery - A- when the visual indicator

has »no color or is bright yellow«. Jump starting must not be

used!

There is a risk of explosion during testing, charging or jump

starting.

These Batteries - A- must be replaced.

Note

The Battery - A- temperature must be at least 10 °C (50 °F).

Caution

♦ Turn off the ignition and all electrical equipment.

♦ Remove the key.

– Check the visual indicator on Batteries - A- with visual indica‐

tor. Refer to

⇒ “2.1.1 Battery, Checking, Vehicles with Battery Monitoring

Control Module J367 or Energy Management Control Module

J644 and Data Bus On Board Diagnostic Interface J533”, page

6 .

– Switch on the -VAS5097A- . Refer to

⇒ “2.6.2 Battery Tester with Printer VAS5097A Device De‐

scription”, page 18 .

– Determine the cold crank amps according to specifications on

the Battery - A- in ampere (A) according to DIN and determine

the -VAS5097A- adjustment range using the table. Refer to

⇒ “2.6.4 Cold Crank Amps Table”, page 20 .

Note

If the Battery - A- does not state this value in DIN but rather in IEC

or EN/SAE, then convert the value using the table (refer to

⇒ “2.6.4 Cold Crank Amps Table”, page 20 ) or the table on the

-VAS5097A- .

– Set the cold crank amps with the cold crank amps selector

switch. Refer to

⇒ “2.6.2 Battery Tester with Printer VAS5097A Device De‐

scription”, page 18 .

– Set the measuring range (80 to 379 A or 380 to 499 A) using

the ON/OFF switch. Refer to

⇒ “2.6.2 Battery Tester with Printer VAS5097A Device De‐

scription”, page 18 .

– Connect the red terminal (+) to the positive terminal of the

Battery - A- .

– Connect the black terminal (-) to the negative terminal for the

Battery - A- .

Note

♦ Make sure the test terminals make good contact!

♦ Note TPL 2012182 for the -VAS5097A- .

– Using the sliding switch, select the test clamp connection

point. Refer to

⇒ “2.6.2 Battery Tester with Printer VAS5097A Device De‐

scription”, page 18 .

2 - Connection on the battery jump start terminal

– Check if the cold crank amps indicated on the Battery - A-

matches the selected value on the -VAS5097A- .

– Press theStart-button. Refer to

⇒ “2.6.2 Battery Tester with Printer VAS5097A Device De‐

scription”, page 18 .

The green LED lights up. Refer to

⇒ “2.6.2 Battery Tester with Printer VAS5097A Device Descrip‐

tion”, page 18 . The test program runs automatically. The test

results are output through the printer. Refer to

⇒ “2.6.5 Battery Load Test Results”, page 21 . If the -

VAS5097A- does not start, (the LED does not come on and there

is no print out), then charge the Battery - A- . Refer to

⇒ “3 Battery, Charging”, page 25 .

– Switch off the -VAS5097A- . Refer to

⇒ “2.6.2 Battery Tester with Printer VAS5097A Device De‐

scription”, page 18 .

– Remove the test terminals.

Note

♦ The test is over after approximately 20 seconds.

♦ The results of the test are output through the printer.

♦ Only perform the test once. Repeating the test will not produce

accurate results.

♦ The -VAS5097A- needs 30 minutes to cool off before it is ready

for the next measurement.

2.6.5

Battery Load Test Results

By placing the battery under a strong load during the Battery - A-

load test, the battery voltage will be reduced.

♦ If the Battery - A- is good, the voltage drops only to the speci‐

fied minimum voltage.

♦ If the Battery - A- is defective or weakly charged, the battery

voltage will drop very quickly to below the specified minimum

voltage.

♦ After testing, this low voltage level is maintained for a lengthy

period and only increases again slowly.

♦ Only perform the test once. Repeating the test will not produce

accurate results.

♦ In order to be able to test another/additional Battery - A- , the

-VAS5097A- must cool down for approximately 30 minutes for

the test result to be correct.
