BITE5 Battery Impedance Test Equipment

SKU: BITE5

Battery impedance tester for lead-acid (VLA and VRLA), NiCd, and lithium-ion battery banks up to 200 V DC modules. Measures individual cell voltage, impedance, and temperature to identify weak cells before failure. Touch-screen review of data on-site — evaluate cells or trend string performance, make repairs, and re-test in one trip. Pairs with the Torkel discharge test set for impedance measurement during capacity testing.

Battery Tester (lead acid (VLA and VRLA), NiCD, and Lithium-ion)

The BITE5 is a battery tester that will test lead acid batteries, NiCD batteries as well as lithium-ion batteries. The BITE5 will measure and record battery voltage, impedance, and temperature. The BITE5 also supports discharge testing. It will measure the voltage and current throughout the discharge cycle. The BITE5 can also measure the impedance and temperature throughout the discharge cycle.

The BITE5 will measure cell impedance, cell voltage, and temperature. The recorded data can be trended on the unit’s touch screen. View the trended data of each test or trend the data of each cell. Set pass, warning, and fail limits for voltage and impedance. Record the ripple voltage, ripple current, and float current and transfer the recorded data via USB or via an SD card to the PowerDB software, then create custom reports and automated analysis.

The BITE5 will record voltage, DC current, impedance, and temperature of each cell throughout the entire discharge test. Measure the average impedance at the end of the commissioning test and use this as a limit for future impedance tests. Trend the recorded data on the BITE5 touch screen and view the trended data of each test or trend the discharge of each cell. Transfer the recorded data via USB or via an SD card to the PowerDB software, then create custom reports.

Measure and record combiner DC voltages. Measure the input and output of inverters. Test the lithium-ion batteries.
