Gossen Metrawatt B100B For High Volume Battery Testing Applications
The METRACELL B100B BT PRO is a mobile and multifunctional test device for the testing and maintenance of battery systems and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), in computer centres, hospitals, transport, power stations, etc.
The unit conducts tests, stores results and generates test reports for all of the mandatory requirements of AS2676.1:2020 (Vented Lead-Acid Batteries) and AS60896 (Stationary Lead-Acid Battery Testing), providing users with the the most efficient testing and reporting solution on the Australian market for high volume battery testing applications.
Comparative units on the market either do not conduct some of the mandatory tests or require manual data logging of some of these mandatory tests – which is inefficient and time consuming for high volume testing applications. Tests typically omitted or requiring manual recording on comparative units include:
- No “connector loss” mode testing or data logging
- No “acid density” interface or data logging
- No “charging/discharging current” data logging
- No “RCT Testing” – while not a mandatory test, it is regarded by experts as industry best practice
Tests Carried Out
- Visual Inspections
- Measure individual cell/block voltage up to 600V DC and 300 V AC
- Measure internal resistance
- Charge and discharge current measurement plus logging of voltage curves
- Record acid density (vented lead-acid batteries) – Using Anton Paar DMA35 Portable Density Meter
- Measure Block temperature
- Record and analyse connector voltage drops
- Maintains Records of all tests and inspections (data logging & reporting)
Automated for High Volume Battery Testing Applications
- Data logging and report generating for all mandatory tests required under AS2676.1:2020 (Vented Lead-Acid Batteries) and AS60896 (Stationary Lead-Acid Battery Testing)
- Bluetooth connection to Anton Paar DMA35 Portable Density Meter for faster acid density testing and data logging for reporting
- Recording of visual inspections on test reports
- The B100B Metracell BT Pro is the fastest and most efficient testing and reporting solution on the Australian market for professional high volume battery testing applications.
