2. Drücken Sie die MODE/START button repeatedly to cycle through the available voltage settings (1.2V, 1.5V, 3V, 9V, 12V) until the desired battery type is selected.
3. Carefully insert the battery to be tested into the appropriate contacts on the tester, ensuring correct polarity.
4. Das LCD-Display zeigt die aktuelle Lautstärke antage and the estimated remaining capacity in percentage.
5. Remove the battery once the reading is stable.

6.3. Ergebnisse interpretieren

The tester displays both voltage und Prozenttage. A significantly low voltage or a low percentage reading indicates a depleted or faulty battery. For specific thresholds of 'failed' batteries, consult the battery manufacturer's specifications, as these can vary.

6.4. Adjustable Test Current

The device allows for an adjustable test current. This feature helps in assessing battery performance under different load conditions. Use the SATZ button and arrow keys to adjust this setting if required for specific testing scenarios. Refer to the display for current test parameters.
