Battery Load Test Results

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Audi A4 allroad. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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 specified 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.
