Take the hassle out of testing multiple battery types with the new ACT D4000 Universal Battery Tester by ACT Meters Ltd. This compact unit allows a range of rechargeable battery types, voltages and capacities to be tested all from the one meter.
David Grant, managing director of the Merseyside-based supplier of battery testing and monitoring equipment, says: "The D4000 is ideal for identifying defective batteries of different types, voltages and capacities in seconds.
"It will test all rechargeable batteries – including lead-acid, lithium-ion, nickel-cadmium and nickel metal hydride – with voltages between 2.4V and 12V, with capacities above 4Ah. It’s an ideal tester for batteries used in stand-alone emergency lighting luminaires, security and fire alarm panels and cordless power tools."
Fully automatic and free from complicated settings, the D4000 performs by selecting the correct load to safely discharge 1Ah from the battery in the shortest possible time. Yellow, green and red LEDs flash to confirm test operation and whether a battery is healthy or defective. The D4000 will identify a healthy battery normally between seven to 10 minutes, but will only take one minute to identify a defective battery, the firm adds. A low capacity battery will be identified normally within three minutes. This makes it possible to quickly identify a good battery without having to wait for the full 1Ah discharge test to be completed.
The ACT D4000 Universal Battery Tester is the latest product to be added to the company’s range. For more information call 01744 886660.
