Megger, based in Norristown, Pennsylvania, now offers two battery testers that have enough available current to measure impedance values and DC voltage up to 7,000 Ah. The BITE2 and BITE2P take measurements within three seconds.
Designed for use on valve regulated lead acid (VLRA) batteries, large flooded vented lead acid (VLA) batteries as well as nickel-cadmium (NiCD) batteries, these battery impedance testers are used in electrical power generation plants, telecommunication facilities, UPS systems, railroads, aircraft power supplies as well as in utility and industrial substations.
Megger’s BITE2 and BITE2P help to provide information about battery performance and detect hidden problems. These battery impedance testers feature an internal memory that automatically stores more than 2,000 sets of readings, for up to 300 tests, in a light-weight, rugged receiver.
The BITE2 and BITE2P not only have enough current to test large VLA batteries, but also have the current to test low resistance inter-cell connections as well as string continuity. The BITE2 and BITE2P are robust, repeatable instruments that come with on-board pass, warning and fail indicators.
