SBS-4830S: Battery Capacity Tester

The only true way to be certain if your stationary batteries will perform to specification under load is to capacity test the batteries regularly.

NERC standard PRC-005-2 requires that vented lead acid and nickel cadmium (Ni-Cd) systems be discharge tested every six years and valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries every three years. IEEE recommends load testing stationary flooded/vented lead acid and Ni-Cd stationary batteries every five years and VRLA batteries every 12–18 months.

The SBS-4830S constant current load bank is an affordable way to perform easy and accurate load tests, including IEEE450 (vented lead acid), IEEE1106 (Ni-Cd) and IEEE1188 (VRLA) load tests.

Exponential Power load banks are quick and easy to set up. The SBS-4830S load bank includes a touch screen to set test parameters and display voltage, current and amp hours (Ah) removed from the string during the test. Since this is a constant current load bank, the user also does not have to adjust the current during the load test.

These load banks come standard with multiple adjustable stop points and built-in protection to ensure that the batteries are never damaged due to over-discharge.

  • Many unit options with wide voltage and current range
  • Automatically discharges batteries unmanned without danger of over-discharging
  • Continuously holds the current set throughout the test
  • LCD screen displays real time voltage, discharge current and capacity/Ah removed
  • Test parameters are adjustable during test without stopping test
  • 3 adjustable stop points for built-in protection
  • End system voltage
  • Discharge time
  • Discharge capacity (Ah)
  • Units can be slaved with the SBS-8400 and/or other load banks to increase amp draw
  • Telecommunications
  • Utility
  • UPS
  • Battery manufacturing
  • Industrial maintenance
  • Critical power
  • Data center
