BAT-500 Battery Impedance Tester (Up to 40V & 500 Ah, RS-232)
SKU: BAT-500
Handheld battery impedance tester that checks stationary, alkaline, and lead-acid batteries up to 500 Ah without taking them off-line — measuring internal resistance up to 40 Ω and voltage up to 40 V, with a pass / warning / fail comparator and RS-232 download.
List price. Volume pricing available.
The Amprobe BAT-500 quickly and accurately tests batteries without taking them off-line, simultaneously measuring internal resistance and voltage so you can gauge a battery's true remaining life. It works with most compact storage, alkaline, and lead-acid batteries up to 500 Ah, with resistance measurement to 40 Ω and DC voltage to 40 V.
A built-in comparator instantly classifies each reading as pass, warning, or fail, and 99 memory locations store results for later recall. The compact, lightweight meter includes an RS-232 PC interface for downloading results for trending and life-cycle analysis.
