Irfan GUNEY Batteries are the energy source that provides energy to the vehicle for the first movement. Batteries used in motor vehicles nowadays are usually lead-acid batteries. This paper introduces the basic components of lead-acid batteries and describes the concept of a battery capacity test. The general definition of the standard for testing, EN50342, and the required conditions are presented. Furthermore, a cost-effective capacity tester for heavy-duty lead-acid batteries in compliance with the standard was developed and introduced. Keywords: Battery Capacity, Lead-Acid Battery. Heavy-Commercial Vehicles Battery 1. Introduction A battery is the only part to which the vehicle is dependent, regardless of vehicle type, and its technical characteristics have changed little over time. If your battery runs out, you will stay on the road. You can find the auto electrician, the tire repairman anywhere, anytime, but the battery is not something that can be found on the road. We all know how sad your plans become the next day when you forget to close your headlights or radio.
