Video tutorial

Learn how to check the battery charge status on your Skoda Octavia III. The method shown in the video uses the onboard computer: without inserting the key, press the "set 0.0" button located just below the display and hold it for a moment. The display will show the time, but if you continue to press, it will display the battery charge percentage.

A more precise method for an accurate diagnosis of the battery's health is to use a voltmeter. With the engine off, set it to "Volts DC", connect the red lead to the positive terminal and the black lead to the negative terminal.

If the voltage is 12.6/12.8 or higher, the battery is fully charged; 12.4 indicates 75% charge; 12.2 indicates 50% charge; 12.0 or lower indicates a flat battery.
