Battery (AGM/VRLA) - Check Condition







Battery test with Midtronics MCR 717

With introduction of the new "Midtronics MCR 717" battery tester, a new testing method is applied for all types of batteries used by DaimlerChrysler (wet cell and AGM/VRLA batteries).

AGM/VRLA batteries can no longer be tested with the previous methods. Additionally, the acid level can not checked, do not open/remove the cover from the AGM/VRLA battery.

In the future, measurement of the acid density, has been eliminated just as has testing the load for all types of batteries.

This also eliminates the acid density test sheet when filling out warranty and goodwill claims. For this purpose enter test code (indicated by tester) in text field "Message text" of the G/K proposal form in the event of a negative test result

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Warranty/goodwill claims where a wet cell/lead calcium/AGM/VRLA battery is installed in the course of repair, will now only be recognized when the test result (result code) is entered on the repair order and in the message field on the warranty/goodwill claim.
