Battery HiTester

The Hioki BT3562 6V/60V Battery HiTesters and BT3563-A 6V/60V/300V Battery HiTester support simultaneous high-speed measurement of internal resistance (IR) and battery voltage (OCV) for the ever-expanding production lines of increasingly larger lithium-ion low resistance batteries, and other battery packs for high voltage applications.

Advanced Features

• Four-Terminal AC Method
  • The four-terminal, 1-kHz AC method uses four contact probes to measure resistance independently of that of the measurement leads.
• Measurement Error Detection
  • Detects test probe contact failure and broken leads, for 100% measurement reliability.
• Self-Calibrating
  • Minor drift and gain fluctuations within the internal measurement circuitry are automatically corrected to maintain high accuracy.
• Averaging Function
  • Stable readings can be consistently obtained by averaging two to 16 measurements.

Features of Battery HiTester Series

• High Precision
  • Resistance: ±0.5% rdg. ±5 digit
  • Voltage: ±0.01% rdg. ±3 digit
• High Resolution
  • Resistance: 0.1 µΩ (3 mΩ range)
  • Voltage: 10 µV (6 V range)
• Quick Response
  • Resistance & Voltage Simultaneous measurements within 18 ms
• The 3 mΩ range (with 0.1 µΩ resolution) is ideal for testing ever lower-resistance large cells
• The 6 V range (with 10 µV resolution and 0.01% accuracy) is ideal for the high-precision voltage measurements required for cell testing
• Provides high-speed measurement of high-voltage battery packs, for improving productivity

High Speed Interfaces

The fastest 10 ms measurement data can be transferred via the standard RS-232C interface at up to 38,400 bps. Models with the -01 suffix include a GP-IB interface.

Handler Interface

Triggering, measurement configuration loading, and zero adjustment can be externally controlled. Output signals provide comparator results, end-of-measurement events, and measurement errors.

Analog Output

The Hioki BT3563-01 provide analog output of resistance measurement values. This is convenient for combining re-corded data from multiple locations or of various data types, such as for logging long-term measurements and for fuel cell evaluation.
