Test Prerequisites

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Volkswagen Beetle, 2015 Volkswagen Beetle, 2014 Volkswagen Beetle, 2013 Volkswagen Beetle, and 2012 Volkswagen Beetle. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When charging a battery, the temperature of the battery must be at least 10 °C.
The charger must be able to deliver at least 30 A charge current, such as on the Battery Charger VAS 5095A/Battery Charger VAS 5900/Battery Charger VAS 5903.
When charging with the Battery Charger VAS 5095A, the Battery -A- current draw must be measured using a current probe (Test Instrument Set - Current Clamp - 100A VAS 6356/4A).
The Battery Charger VAS 5900 and the Battery Charger VAS 5903 indicate the current draw. The Battery Charger VAS 5900 automatically performs the menu- guided current draw test.
