New BaSyTec Battery Capacity Testers (BCT) version

(Press release 12. August 2004)

The BaSyTec Battery Capacity Tester (BCT) is now in a new version available. The changes in comparison to the previous version are:

Higher current range
Higher power range
Free selectable end of discharge voltages for the systems lead-acid, NiCd/NiMH and Li-ion
Automatic detection of NiCd and NiMH batteries that are coded with the temperature sensor
Improved calibration routine

There are now three sizes of the BCT available.

A 10A Version with a maximum continuous power of 150W
A 12A Version with a maximum continuous power of 200W
A 24A Version with a maximum continuous power of 400W

All three sizes are coming with a compact aluminum housing (107mm*175mm*205mm).

The selectable end of discharge voltages are stored separately for the supported battery technologies (NiCd/NiMH, lead-acid, Li-ion). Coded batteries as used from some power tool manufacturers are automatically detected and displayed. This allows testing the coding element of the battery.
