Introduction: 

The DisChargePlus Battery Tester is designed to measure the 

remaining capacity, or useful energy for which a 36 or 48 volt 

battery set is capable. The discharge rate, time, and shut off 

voltage are programmable. 

 

Specifications: 

Operates from battery voltage, either 36 or 48 volt battery 

packs (no AC power required) 

Electronically controlled (uses microcontroller) 

Programmable voltage or time shutoff - 3 rates of 

discharge 

LCD digital display for easy reading 

Built-in thermal protection 

8 foot DC cord with cord wrap brackets 

Large 200 amp clamps for battery connections
