j) Conducting a battery test
The battery test is designed to test standard 1.5 V and 9 V block
batteries. The batteries are measured at a low load to ensure an
objective measurement. The display indicates the actual terminal
voltage under load. If you wish to test a rechargeable battery,
select the range that is closest to the battery voltage (e.g. 1.5 V if
the rechargeable battery voltage is 1.2 V).
- Switch on the DMM and select the measurement range
- Plug the red lead into mA µA terminal (E) and the black lead
into the COM terminal (H).
- "V" will appear on the display.
- Connect the red measuring probe to the positive battery termi-
nal and the black probe to the negative terminal.
- The terminal voltage of the battery will be shown on the dis-
play.
- "OL" indicates that the measuring range has been exceeded.
- After taking a measurement, remove the leads from the meas-
ured object and switch off the DMM.
Rechargeable batteries have a lower cell voltage, therefore the measurement will be lower than for non-
rechargeable batteries.
