TECHNICAL CHECK
Battery Resting and Load Test
A battery may look normal at rest yet collapse during cranking. A useful assessment combines terminal condition, resting behaviour and performance under load.
What is reviewed?
- Inspect battery terminals for tightness and corrosion
- Take resting measurements under suitable conditions
- Observe behaviour during cranking
- Consider battery age and usage history
- Separate charging-system faults from battery faults
Model-specific limit: Exact test thresholds depend on battery type and model-specific service information.
