Description

The Battery Resistance Tester IBAR is an ideal tool for periodic inspections, maintenance, troubleshooting and performance testing of individual stationary batteries up to 4000 Ah used in critical battery applications. IBAR determines the health of stationary batteries by performing measurements of internal resistance and voltage as well as intercell connection resistance values. Measurements obtained by IBAR, along with cell temperature and specific gravity data can provide detailed analysis and evaluation of overall health of batteries. Readings are taken within two seconds, using the included pin probes.

IBAR allows the user to quickly and easily define upper and lower measurement thresholds or tolerance ranges. During the testing process, measured values are automatically compared to the predefined threshold limits producing a PASS, FAIL or WARNING indication. All the test data is automatically stored in the devices’ internal memory for further analysis.

Application

The list of the instrument’s application includes:

Quick verification of stationary lead acid batteries’ state of health and battery trending analysis
Simultaneous measurement of battery internal resistance and voltage (U+R mode)
Measurement of intercell connection resistance for verification of battery inter-cell connections
Serve as a support tool for cell voltage measurement during the capacity testing
