6.1 Battery Health Test

This test evaluates the overall condition of your battery, including its capacity and internal resistance. Select "Battery Health Test" in the app. The app will guide you through the process and display results such as State of Health (SOH) and State of Charge (SOC).

6.2 Start System Test (Cranking Test)

This test assesses the vehicle's starting system, including the starter motor and battery's ability to deliver sufficient current during engine cranking. Follow the app's instructions to start the engine. The app will display cranking voltage and duration, indicating if the starting system is performing normally.

6.3 Charging System Test (Alternator Test)

This test checks the vehicle's charging system, primarily the alternator, to ensure it is properly charging the battery. The app will measure on-load and no-load voltages, as well as ripple voltage, to determine the charging system's efficiency.

6.4 Additional Tests and Features

The ThinkEASY app also provides access to other diagnostic functions:

• Voltage Test: Juri l-volum kurrenti tal-batterijatage.
• Ripple Analysis: Measures the AC ripple voltage from the alternator, indicating potential issues with the rectifier diodes.
• Test tar-reżistenza: Measures the internal resistance of the battery.
• Test tat-Tagħbija: Simulates a load on the battery to assess its performance under demand.
• Monitoraġġ tat-temperatura: With a built-in temperature sensor, the device can monitor the engine bay temperature in real-time via the app.
