Battery Hi-Tester
The New Standard for Assessing Deterioration of Lead-acid Batteries.
Repeated recharging of a secondary battery can lead to battery deterioration and increase its internal resistance. Problems can intensify when there is a short-circuit in the internal cell leading to voltage drop, overheating and complete battery malfunction. Worst of all, these problems can cause life-threatening fires and other accidents.
The 3554 BATTERY HiTESTER is a measuring instrument for judging battery wear by measuring internal resistance, voltage, and terminal temperature* of lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, nickel-hydrogen, lithium-ion, and other types of batteries.
* Temperature measurement requires the optional 9460 CLIP TYPE LEAD WITH TEMPERATURE SENSOR
By connecting the instrument to a personal computer after measurement, using the included USB cable, measurement data can be loaded to the personal computer.
Enables measurement without shutting down UPS systems
This instrument uses high-precision AC resistance measurement technology. Since it is capable of live-wire measurement without shutting down the UPS system, it makes it possible to shorten the time required for measurement.
Reliable measurement values
Since it uses the four-terminal AC method to measure internal resistance, this instrument can obtain reliable measurement values unaffected by lead or connector resistance.
Simultaneous display of resistance, voltage, and temperature
Without changing functions, this instrument can display battery internal resistance, voltage, and terminal temperature simultaneously. Temperature measurement requires the optional 9460 CLIP TYPE LEAD WITH TEMPERATURE SENSOR.
Comparator feature
Using this instrument's comparator feature makes it possible to set threshold values for internal resistance and for voltage, thus enabling even more reliable measurement of battery wear.
Large memory capacity
Combining currently measured values (resistance, voltage, temperature, and comparator measurement results) into a set, this instrument can store up to 4,800 sets of data. It can be used to measure up to 12 sets of 400-cell cubicles.
Auto-memory feature
Enabling this function results in measurement data being stored to the instrument's internal memory automatically, the instant it is held. This increases operational efficiency.
PC interface
Measurement data can be loaded onto a personal computer.
Compact size
With a compact size with width and length approximately equivalent to the dimensions of an A5-sized sheet of paper, this instrument is highly portable. Designed to have a weight of only about 790 grams, it can be used for measurement over a long period of time without tiring the user.
Model 9772 PIN TYPE LEAD (optional)
Using the optional 9772 PIN TYPE LEAD with a pin point designed to fit in holes only five millimeters in diameter makes measurement possible without removing terminal covers. Since the pin can be inserted diagonally in hard-to-reach spots, it also makes measurement possible in virtually any location. Furthermore, pin strength has been improved from that of previous Hioki products.
A remote control switch for storing measurement values
Using the optional 9466 REMOTE CONTROL SWITCH makes it possible to store and hold measurement values through a simple press of a button. This is useful for cases when both of the operator's hands are occupied.
