BurnInTest can monitor battery levels and report an error if the battery is below a set capacity value in absolute or percentage terms.

 

Battery pre-test

Select this option to check the battery capacity before the main tests start, i.e. as a pre-test.

 

Battery main test

Select this option to check the battery capacity during the main test run, i.e. while the other main tests are running. The battery will be checked once per minute.

 

Use full charge capcity

Use the battery's current fully charged capacity (the battery capacity when the battery is reporting it is at 100% charge, from POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL) instead of current capacity (POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_NOW) for comparison. When compared the the design capacity this gives an indication of how the battery has aged.

 

Use current charge

Use the current battery charge capacity (POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_NOW) instead of full charged capacity (POWER_SUPPLY_ENERGY_FULL) for comparison.

 

Use threshold (percent)

Select this option to use a percentage threshold value, eg 90%. If the measured value (full charge or current charge) drops below this level when compared to the battery's design capacity an error will be logged.

 

Use absolute threshold

Leave unchecked to use an absolute battery value.

 

Threshold

The absolute (e.g. 30000mA) or percentage battery value (e.g. 80%), eg 5000 mWh. If the measured value (full charge or current charge) when compared to the battery's design capacity has a difference greater than this value then an error will be logged.
