HIOKI BT3554 Battery Tester (Bluetooth® not installed)
Even Speedier Diagnosis of the Deterioration of Lead-acid Batteries

Discontinued > HIOKI BT3554-50 Battery Tester

BT3554-50: With or without and the type of Pin Type Lead is selected by the order code.

OVERVIEW

Hioki portable battery testers support the maintenance of UPS and storage batteries critical to the life support of all businesses. The BT3554 battery internal resistance tester sets the standard for assessing the deterioration and remaining life of UPS and other lead-acid batteries by giving a complete diagnosis via battery resistance testing. The specially designed L2020 Pin Type Lead further improves testing efficiency with an L-shaped tip that lets you reach deep into the battery racks to completely probe the terminals.

Get Results in as Fast as 2 Seconds
Simply touch the test leads to the battery terminals to easily capture battery condition data with the Hioki BT3554 Battery Tester. Automatically save measurements results using the auto-hold or auto-memory function in just 2 seconds, a 60% reduction from the legacy product.

Key Features

Note (1) 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.
Note (2) In some cases, it may be difficult to determine the deterioration state of traditional open type (liquid) lead-acid or alkaline batteries which demonstrate smaller changes in internal resistance than sealed lead acid batteries.

FEATURES

Generating comparative judgments based on a lead-acid battery’s internal resistance and voltage
By using its comparator function to simultaneously measure the internal resistance and voltage of a lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, or nickel-hydride battery, the BT3554 can generate comparative judgments quantifying degradation of the cell based on user-specified threshold values.


 

---

Saving data easily just by placing the leads in contact with a battery’s terminals
The BT3554’s auto-hold function automatically holds measured values once they stabilize. The instrument’s auto-memory function, which automatically stores measured values resulting from the auto-hold function in its internal memory, further streamlines work tasks.

The Best Choice Just Got Better: Speedy diagnosis of lead-acid battery deterioration status
Why switch to the BT3554 from the 3554?
Measure and save data in as fast as 2 seconds, a 60% improvement from the legacy 3554.
The same reliable instantaneous degradation diagnosis of lead-acid batteries (PASS, WARNING, FAIL) by measuring internal resistance and voltage Determine the health of your batteries even in high noise environments with the BT3554’s improved noise reduction technology.

Quicker and easier contact with battery racks using the longer and improved L-shaped probe (the L2020)
