The Megger BITE5 Battery Tester is a battery tester that will test lead acid batteries, NiCD batteries as well as lithium-ion batteries. It will measure and record battery voltage, impedance, temperature and inter-cell connections. The BITE5 Advanced also supports discharge testing. It will measure the voltage, current, impedance and temperature throughout the discharge cycle.
The BITE5 will measure cell impedance, cell voltage, temperature and inter-cell connections (straps). The recorded data can be trended on the 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 and straps. 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. The Bite5 can measure and record combiner DC voltages as well as the input and output of inverters. It can also test lithium-ion batteries
In addition to the above attributes, The BITE5 Advanced can test and troubleshoot parallel strings without the need for segmentation and can trend the discharge or recharge of a complete string.
