The problem

Battery manufacturers recommend to recharge

or replace the battery when the rated Amp/hr (Ah) capacity
falls below 65% - but multimeters are only capable of
measuring terminal voltage!   

The solution

The new GOLD-IBT Intelligent Battery Tester

from ACT Meters is designed to simulate a full battery
discharge test in seconds!  Digitally programmed to test
12Volt SLA and car batteries from 1.2Ah - 200Ah, this unique
Award-winning product automatically displays Ambient
Temperature, DC Voltage and Ampere-hour Capacity
available in the battery.   It’s quick, accurate and easy to use
and identifies batteries that need to be recharged or replaced
according to prevailing conditions - irrespective of how long
they have been in use.

How it works

The Intelligent Battery Tester is not a load

tester, nor does it measure resistance or conductance.  Instead
it works by applying a pulsed frequency to the battery under
test. The patented neutral net software analyses the
chemistry of the battery during this process and provides a
direct reading in Amps/Hr.  The design took many months to
complete and accuracy was assured by performing a full
discharge test on 100s of batteries and comparing results.
