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 enhanced measurement current in the 3554 Pass, Warning or Fail
plus fortified circuit design, added with the Averaging Function to handle batteries that have fluctuating measurement values no matter how steady you hold the probe makes the battery tester extra resistant against the adverse effects of noise.
Assessment is based on a 6-way combination of comparisons against upper and lower resistance limits and a voltage threshold. Immediately see the judgement result on the bright LCD and beep on your choice of PASS or WARNING/FAIL.

The standard Pin Type Leads 9465-10 with the single test pin on each lead has been fortified to withstand even the toughest use, while a new dual-axis mechanism incorporated in the new Pin Type Lead 9772 allows the TWO pins in each test lead to move independently. Just in case of breakage, the pins on both the 9465-10 and the 9772 can be replaced easily on site.

The Advantages of 4-Terminal Measurement
The Quality of Your Test Lead CAN Make a Difference
When measuring certain batteries such as leadacid cells, the resulting measurement value may differ depending on the test leads used to conduct the measurement. This difference is due to the shape of the probe tip as well as the dimensions of the 4-terminal test leads used for measurement. However, despite a difference in value given by different test leads, it is safe to assume that each specific value reflects the correct value obtainable by the respective test leads. Based on this principle, when diagnosing battery deterioration in a time series, it is particularly important to use test leads having the same tip shape and dimensions in order to maintain measurement consistency. T he dif fe r e nc e in t he me asur e me nt value s o b t a i n e d b y d i f f e r e n t t e s t l e a d s i s a p hy s i c a l phenomenon caused by the difference in distance between the SOURCE and SENSE pins of the test leads. This is more significant when the battery terminal contains a resistance higher than the internal resistance of the battery under test. The figure on the right demonstrates how even minute physical differences between the SOURCE and SENSE pins for two types of test leads can affect the detected voltage level of the battery.

To Our Valued Customers:
The thresholds for determining the pass/fail condition of a battery depends on the specifications and standards of the battery manufacturer, battery type, capacity, etc. It is important and necessary to always conduct battery testing against the internal resistance and terminal voltage of a new or reference battery. In some cases, it may be difficult to determine the deterioration state of sealed lead acid batteries which demonstrates smaller changes in internal resistance than traditional open type (liquid) lead-acid or alkaline batteries.
