DESCRIPTION

The BITE5 is a battery tester that tests lead acid batteries, NiCD batteries as well as lithium-ion batteries. 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 testing

The 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 testing

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. Transfer the recorded data via USB or via an SD card to the PowerDB software to create custom reports.

Solar systems

Measure and record combiner DC voltages. Measure the input and output of inverters. Test the lithium-ion batteries.
