2.3.4 Battery Test

If bad battery performance or capacity problem is claimed, the battery and charging function can be
tested by using an application designed for this purpose.
By using this application the battery is tested in a fast and controlled environment.
This is especially convenient when units with embedded batteries should be checked, to avoid
