Testing Stationary Batteries using the MODEL 23 DC Source Tester

There are 3 possible test methods:

Method 1:
Use the 23 DC Source Tester and a label printer. Every battery has its individual reference values printed on a label which is attached to the battery. Every year maintenance measurements are made and a new label is put on top of the label of the previous year. The user can set its own limits for the increase of Ri. In general limits of 30% to 40% increase are applied. 
When these limits are reached the battery cell or module is replaced.

This test method is reliable and efficient at the same time. Stationary batteries are being charged constantly and therefore Ri is measured under the same condition from year to year. 
An increase of Ri of 30% indicates approximate 30% loss of battery capacity. 
The measured values are also stored in the tester and can be transferred to a PC file for maintenance.

 
Method 2:
Use the 23 DC Source Tester, The PC software, a RS-232 Interface cable (max. 15m) and a notebook computer. Every battery block is labeled N=001 to N=xxx. A 120V back-up system, for example contains 10 battery blocks of 12V each. In this case the blocks are numbered N=1 to N=12.

The testing proceeds as follows:

  • Select the file with the reference values for this particular battery system.
  • Connect the RS-232 interface cable and start measurement with block N=1. 
    The measured values are transferred to the notebook. The measurement is right away compared to the reference value of this block. When limits are exceeded the maintenance person is alerted. When finished you have the whole picture as well as a record data.

Method 3:
In this test method, data are not directly transferred to the notebook. The measurements are first stored in nonvolatile memory of the tester under N=1 to N=xxx (max. 500). When the testing is finished the data are read into a notebook on-site or are transferred to a PC in the office. 
The supplied software gives quick answers.
The  23 DC Source Tester can store up to 500 values of battery blocks or cells. 
This will be enough storage even for large systems.
