NOTE
What follows is eight test procedures that should

TEST PROCEDURES
Test each battery of a series pair, then proceed to batteries of the

For example, in figure 20, batteries A and B are a
series pair, and batteries C and D are also a series pair.
To test battery A or B, clamp the current probe around the cable connecting
battery A and battery B.
Point the arrow on the current probe in the
