Battery Capacity Tester (BCT)


The BaSyTec Battery Capacity Tester is a compact and portable, simple to use test equipment for service applications. A continuous power of 150W (200W / 400W / 600W), a maximum current of 10A (12A / 24A / 32A) and a voltage range of 2 - 45V (3 - 45V at 600W) are the key parameters and makes the BCT an ideal test equipment for all types of batteries, also power tool batteries.



Principle


The BaSyTec Battery Capacity Tester is used for measuring the capacity of NiCd, NiMH, lead-acid and Li-ion batteries with a nominal voltage between 1.6 and 45 V. For a capacity test, a fully charged battery is discharged with a selectable constant current until the end of discharge voltage is reached. All relevant data is measured and displayed.

A temperature sensore that is in the battery integrated (for example powertool batteries) is read by the BCT during the battery test. Batteries that are coded by this temperature sensor are automatically detected by the BCT.

Easy to use


The BaSyTec Battery Capacity Tester is a simple to use device. It is mainly optimized for service applications. The user interface consists of 6 buttons and a 2 lines lcd display (back lighted). For operation there is no expert knowledge necessary.

After selection of the battery type, the rated voltage, the rated capacity , and the discharge current, the test starts with simply pressing the start button.

Concentrates on the important information

During discharging all interesting data is displayed:

  • battery temperature
  • battery voltage
  • discharged Ah (absolute value)
  • discharged Ah relative value (% 0f rated capacity)
  • Discharged Wh
