- Many battery manufacturers rate their batteries at 20°C
- Below 20°C, the battery can have a significantly lower available capacity
- Over 20°C, the battery can have a significantly higher available capacity
- This can easily be as much as ±50% of the rated capacity
- Bear in mind the differences in temperature when testing – for example in an enclosure or next to a hot transformer (high than rated reading) or located externally / cold environment (lower than rated reading)
- Tests 12V SLA batteries up to 200 Ah
Product details
The ACT Meters CHROME is an intelligent 12V SLA battery tester for fire and security engineers, giving Ah capacity and voltage results in seconds for batteries up to 200Ah.
The ACT CHROME 12V SLA Battery Tester uses advanced pulsed load technology to deliver accurate DC Voltage and Ah capacity results based on the battery’s temperature and state of charge. A quick look up table on the side of the unit identifies when batteries should be recharged or replaced due to age or operating conditions (65% of rated capacity). A temperature sensitive strip allows the ambient temperature to also be recorded. The ACT CHROME 12V SLA Battery Tester offers a simple and accurate solution for testing 12V SLA batteries commonly used in fire, security and many other electrical systems.
