It will measure and record battery voltage, impedance, and temperature, and also supports discharge testing. The BITE5 will measure the voltage, current, impedance and temperature throughout the discharge cycle. Battery impedance testingThe 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. Battery discharge testingThe 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 to create custom reports.Solar systemsMeasure and record combiner DC voltages. Measure the input and output of inverters. Test the lithium-ion batteries.FEATURES Tests lead acid (VLA and VRLA), NiCD, and lithium-ion Measures cell impedance Cell voltage Cell temperature Cell voltage ripple AC current (ripple) DC current (float) Supports discharge testing Measures cell voltages throughout discharge Measure cell temperature throughout discharge Measure cell impedance throughout discharge Measure DC current throughout discharge Measure string voltages up to 1000 V DC Measure solar combiner boxes up to 1000 V DC Measure DC side of inverters up to 1000 V DC Measure AC side of inverter up to 600 V AC Wirelessly transfer data to PowerDB Supports battery discharge testing Measures impedance on cells up to 200 V Supports lead acid, NiCD and lithium-ion Measures DC voltages up to 1000 V Measures AC voltages up to 600 V Touch screen set-up and trending USB and micro SD card Measures AC and DC current
