Battery capacity tester BLU-C is the latest solution from DV Power for conducting a comprehensive battery capacity test. This universal instrument is applicable to any battery string, such as lead-acid, Li-Ion, Ni-Cd, and others, with voltages up to 800 V DC.
Additionally, BLU-C enables full battery discharge down to 0 V, either standalone or when combined with Zero Voltage Discharge Module ZVD. Together with ZVD module, BLU-C enables full battery discharge down to 0 V with constant current (up to 60A or 120A depending on the ZVD model), required before battery recycling. To eliminate the effect of rebound voltage after a full discharge, Battery Active Resistor BAR Series can be used after the main discharge unit (such as BLU device) has finished discharging the battery down to 0 V.
An overview of the maximum test currents for BLU-C models for various battery voltage ranges can be found in the table below.
*The current values listed represent the maximum current maintainable throughout the entire corresponding voltage range in the table. For currents that each BLU can obtain, refer to the associated graph in brochure.
BLU-C tester simplifies battery testing in multiple ways. The instrument provides monitoring of discharge parameters (graphically and numerically) in real-time on a 7-inch touch-screen display. The instrument also enables the measurement and monitoring of cell parameters (voltage/intercell voltage/temperature), which makes it a complete stand-alone discharge test system.
The capacity tester is compatible with DV-B Win software. Because of that, the user can view detailed numerical and graphical presentations of key parameters, and create reports in various formats.
The capacity test is performed in a user-friendly way according to battery testing standards: IEEE 450-2010, IEEE 1188-2005, IEEE 1106-2015, IEC 60896-11/22, and others.
The battery capacity tester enables setting the discharge current up to 300 A, with 0,1 A resolution. If higher currents are required, BLU-C units can be connected in parallel, or BXL additional load units can be used.
A user can select one of four discharge modes:
Additionally, different battery duty cycles can be simulated using user-selectable discharge profiles.
Testing can be carried out without disconnecting the battery from the equipment it supplies.
