Fluke Pro, Jason Axelson explains why early identification of battery failure helps keep your assets as well as your company up and running. Use a battery tester to measure voltage, internal resistance and strap resistance to find indications of early-stage battery failure or installation problems. Key measurements – Internal battery resistance, dc and ac voltage, dc and ac current, ripple voltage, frequency and temperature. Sequence measurement mode – Automatic or manual sequence testing of battery strings with automatic measurement storage including voltage, resistance and temperature (with BTL21 intelligent test probe), eliminating the need to press a button each time a measurement needs to be saved. Comprehensive logging – All measured values are automatically captured during testing and can be reviewed on the instrument before downloading for on the-go analysis.
