BITE5 Battery Tester

June 29, 2022
The BITE5 Battery Tester from Megger can perform impedance testing on cells up to 200 V.

The handheld BITE5 battery tester can assess lead acid batteries, NiCD batteries, and lithium-ion batteries up to 200Vdc. It is suited for transmission and distribution substations, solar, UPS maintenance, telecom, and data center applications.

 

The instrument can measure and record AC voltage up to 600 V, DC voltage up to 1000 V, voltage ripple, DC current, AC current, and temperature. On cells up to 200 V, it can perform impedance testing to identify a failing battery.

 

It can be used in place of a battery voltage monitor to support discharge testing; it measures and records voltage, DC current, impedance, and temperature of each cell throughout the entire process. Additionally, it also reduces set-up time and eliminates the concern of dips falling off the cell.

 

The unit can measure and record the output of solar cells and solar combiner boxes up to 1000 V DC.

 

All historical trended data can be viewed on the unit, all data can be recorded and transferred to PowerDB software to create custom reports, and the tester features a color touchscreen. The BITE5 meets the requirements of IEC61010, CE, and CAT IV at 600 V.
