Re: Battery Test Optiion
Hello and thank you for the post
The PicoDiagnostics Battery Extended Drop test will enable you to extend the measurement capabilities of the standard Pico Battery test.
By adding x1 test leads to Channels C and D, we can measure the voltage drop across the starter motor positive and ground cables respectively
With the Battery Test selected, click on the “Options” tab and tick the box adjacent to “Extended Drop test” and click OK
The connection description can be found below:
Below we have the additional test results after carrying out the Extended drop test
