X431 GDS Batterybox
X-431 GDS is a new generation of sophisticated and integrated automotive diagnostic product with colorful screen and powerful functions developed by LAUNCH.
It provides an optional function of automotive battery test, which adopts the latest state-of-the-art conductance testing technology in the world and can test vehicle's battery status. Two testing environments (Inside the Vehicle and Outside the Vehicle) are available and applicable to battery test. In addition to battery test, charging system and actuation system test can be done while Inside the Vehicle is selected.
It supports various battery standards and specifications, including CCA, DIN, IEC, EN, JIS, SAE and GB etc. It is specifically designed to help car owner, repair workshop, battery factory use battery test instrument properly and determine whether the battery is normal or not.
Scope
Battery test aims to check starting plumbic acid storage batteries for vehicles, ship, boats and aviations, etc. It can test all kinds of batteries complying with CCA, DIN, JIS, EN, GB and SA standards. For detailed test standards, please refer to Table 1-1.
Table. Test standard
Standards | Standard (Full name) | Test capacity range |
CCA | Battery Council international | 100-1700 |
DIN | Deutsche industry normen | 100-1200 |
JIS | Japanese industry standard | 26A17-245H52 |
EN | Europe norm | 100-1700 |
IEC | National electrical commission | 100-1200 |
GB | Chinese national standard | 100-1200 |
SAE | Society of Automotive engineers | 100-1700 |
Capability standard for vehicle battery test
The rated capacity range for vehicle battery varies with different test standards. See Table 1 for details. If not specified, the rated capacity value is defaulted as 100-1700.
CCA: 100-1700 DIN: 100-1200 EN: 100-1700 IEC: 100-1200 GB: 100-1200 SAE: 100-1700 JIS: 26A17-245H52
Test environment and structure
Test environment
Inside the vehicle test indicates that the battery connects to loading devices, such as engine, etc. After doing battery test, it can perform charging system and actuation system test, which is proceeded as a whole simultaneously. Charging system and actuation system test is not required but must not be performed before battery test. Because it is difficult for vehicle technicians to judge where is faulty exactly if they have the faintest idea of battery's status itself.
Outside the vehicle test indicates that the battery is disconnected from all loading devices on vehicles. Therefore, only battery test is supported in this condition.
Battery status and description
There are mainly 5 states as follows:
No. | States | Descriptions |
1 | Good battery | Indicates battery is normal. |
2 | Replace battery | Indicates that battery is aged or becomes rejected, or battery life cycle approaches to be exhausted. In this case, battery voltage appears to be normal, but battery itself is not well, i.e. battery polarity board has been completely vulcanized or aged. Please replace battery immediately. |
3 | Good-recharge | Stands for low battery. The battery is good itself. |
4 | Charge-retest | It is better for a few batteries to be fully charged before |
|
| testing in order to avoid judging in error under special conditions. |
5 | Bad cell | Indicates one of the battery cells is bad and can not work normally, but for which one is bad, it can't be verified. In this case, battery voltage is generally lower than 11V, mainly resulting from internal circuitry damage, such as short circuit, open circuit, dummy weld etc. |
Batterybox structure
- Battery connector: Connect to battery for battery test.
