# How to record test data with the app

## A useful guide for recording data with the ClearWatt app

Test data can be recorded through either driving the vehicle or charging the vehicle. To record charging data, you must have a home charger connected to ClearWatt. **To complete a ClearWatt test, record a combination of 3 drives or charges.** See the full requirements for testing below.

### **Recording Drives**

1. Each drive recorded must use at least 10% of your vehicle's battery.
2. Drives cannot contain stops, pauses or breaks (except for stopping at traffic lights).
3. If your vehicle is **connected** to ClearWatt: 
     1. Ensure you've turned on background GPS and enabled fitness permissions. We'll record all of your journeys automatically in the background.
     2. Eligible drives can take **up to 12 hours** to show within the app.

### **Recording Charges**

1. Each charge recorded must add at least 30% of vehicle's battery.
2. You must not unplug your charger during the session.
3. Ensure you capture a picture of the car's battery level at the start and end of each charging session.
