A discharge unit is used to measure the remaining
or proportional useful energy for which a battery set
is capable. Since slightly different methods are used
when determining a battery's useful energy, this
discharge unit has the capability of being
programmed to use a variety of discharge times and
shut-off voltages. Other features which have been
designed in are:
•
Operates from battery voltage only (no AC supply)
•
Used on 72 volt battery systems only
•
Electronically controlled (uses microcontroller)
•
Programmable voltage or time shut-off
•
LED digital display for easy reading
•
Built-in thermal protection
•
8 foot DC cord with cord wrap built into handle
•
Durable eighteen gauge (18 Ga.) steel case with
powder coat paint
•
Large 500 amp alligator clamps for battery
connections
•
Three minute test cycle feature for measuring cell
voltages
•
Discharge data can be viewed or saved with a
terminal or computer
