5.
Connect the
BITE current source leads
to the battery and
then power on the
transmitter
.
6.
Measure the cell impedance, voltage, and strap resistance.
7.
Perform post-test activities such as transferring data,
reviewing and deleting data, and powering down and
disconnecting the
transmitter
.
The detailed procedures needed to perform these steps are

WARNING
Before attempting to use the BITE2 or 2P to perform a
test, be sure that you first read and understand the safety
requirements and operating procedures contained in this
manual. When using the BITE 2/2P, strictly observe all
safety precautions.
Operating Note
Do not perform a test while the battery is under a heavy
charge or discharge. If the battery under test has been
recently subjected to boost charging, a waiting period of 72
hours is recommended before performing an ac impedance
test or any other test. If the ac mains are out and the battery
is discharging to support the load, then unreliable impedance
measurements may be obtained. Relative impedance values
are affected by charge and discharge status, cell age, and
ambient temperature.
