| Description
The Megger BITE5 is a portable battery impedance tester designed for assessing the state of health of various battery types, including lead-acid (VLA and VRLA), NiCd, and lithium-ion. It can perform both impedance and discharge tests on individual cells or full strings. |
| Key features
Test Capabilities: Measures cell impedance, voltage, and temperature to evaluate battery condition. Discharge Testing: Supports discharge testing and can record voltage, DC current, impedance, and temperature throughout the discharge cycle. This is particularly useful when used with an optional load bank. High Voltage Measurement: Measures DC voltages up to 1000 V and AC voltages up to 600 V, allowing for testing in applications like solar combiner boxes and inverters. User Interface and Data Management:- Touchscreen: Features an easy-to-use touchscreen for setting up tests and viewing data trends directly on the device. Data Transfer: Records can be downloaded via a USB cable or SD card for detailed analysis using Megger's PowerDB software. Wireless data transfer is also supported. Advanced version: The BITE5 Advanced model offers higher voltage measurement capabilities (up to 500 Vdc), along with the ability to measure inter-cell strap resistance and monitor battery charging. Technical specifications:- Input Power: Rechargeable Li-ion battery pack (>8 hours of use) or AC adapter (100–240 V AC). Internal Impedance: Ranges from 3 mΩ to 300 Ω. Voltage DC: Ranges up to 1000 V with 1 V resolution. Voltage AC: Ranges up to 600 V with 1 V resolution. Current DC/AC: Ranges up to 1000 A. Temperature: Ranges from 10 °C to 100 °C (50 °F to 212 °F). Memory: Up to 16 GB flash storage, capable of storing thousands of test records. Environmental Protection: IP54 rated for protection against dust and water ingress. |
