BATTERY CHECKING AND REPLACEMENT
Internal Battery
The rechargeable battery in TestBook will not
normally need to be serviced. It allows a technician
to disconnect TestBook from one vehicle and
reconnect it to another without the loss of data.
When TestBook draws power from an energy source
other than the internal battery, the yellow indicator
light is on.
However, if the battery life drops below five minutes,
it is possible to extend it. This is described later in
this section.
