Product Overview

RENT Megger BITE3 Battery Impedance Tester (Call for Availability)

    The Megger BITE3 Battery Impedance Test Equipment determines the health of lead-acid cells by taking measurements of the most important battery parameters, including cell impedance, an internal ohmic test, cell voltage, intercell connection resistance and ripple current.  There is even a built-in spectrum analyzer to show the harmonic content of the ripple current.  With a rapid test time, one person can easily, quickly and precisely measure cell and string parameters without taking the system off line.  Power DB software allows users to configure the BITE3 instrument as well as transfer the data from the BITE3 to Power DB.

    Unlike load-cycle testing which is expensive, non-predictive and time-consuming (but does provide actual capacity data), the Megger BITE3 is quick, reliable and easy to use. Its measurements, along with temperature, specific gravity and other battery data, can provide the best basis for evaluating the overall health of batteries from terminal plate to terminal plate and to a lesser extent, the charger (from ripple current and its harmonic content.) Using the Megger BITE3 along with Power DB will allow you to quickly and easily locate individual poor cells within your string. This will help provide longevity for the string. 

Installations that can be tested by the Megger BITE3 Battery Impedance Tester Include:

• Electrical Power generation plants
