Amprobe Battery Testing
To meet the recommendations and requirements of the updated IEEE and NERC standards for battery systems, Battery Testing Equipment has been specifically designed to measure, record and archive your preventive maintenance program. Each piece of Test Equipment has been tailored to ease the task of collecting this data while reducing maintenance time and saving costly labor hours.
Trends in data from one maintenance activity to the next can forewarn you of problems long before a failure occurs, and actually extend the realized service life of your critical battery systems. Establishing a properly documented and recorded maintenance program is the key to avoiding system failures when emergencies arise.
Purchasing a full set of Battery Maintenance Test Equipment is far less expensive than having to replace an entire battery system in an emergency or the costly losses that can add up during a system.
Battery Capacity Tester
A Battery Capacity Tester is the only true way to measure a battery's ability to perform to specification. New load bank systems have been designed to not only supply the load required to discharge the battery, but new technology allows for the wireless transmittal of detailed cell information to a collection point and generation of precise reports of system performance.
Built in safety features of the new units prevent test conditions from damaging battery systems during tests. Real time data is available throughout the test and allows instant identification of problems while the testing is being done on site.
Battery Impedance Tester
Battery Impedance Testers read and record Voltage, Internal Resistance, Capacitance, and Temperature of all types of batteries. Measuring of a battery cells internal resistance value and comparison to a reference value of the cell when it was new has become the newest diagnostic trend in detecting a problem with a battery cell long before it fails. Data Storage and logging features capture data for incorporation into reports that can be transmitted and stored electronically.
New generation diagnostic testers give on screen Pass/Warning/Fail indication at the time of testing allowing further investigation of potential problems while still on site and eliminating return trips to remote locations to figure out what is wrong later on.
