Introduction This chapter supplies information about the Product, safety information, contact information, and specifications. Product Overview The Fluke BT520 Battery Analyzer (the Product) is a multifunctional meter designed for the test and measurement of a stationary battery system. The Product can measure the battery internal resistance and voltages. These measurements can be used to determine the overall condition of the system. It can also measure electrical parameters for battery system maintenance, including dc voltage up to 600 V, ac voltage up to 600 V rms, and ripple voltage. Features of the ...

voltage of the battery under test. • Discharge Volts – The Discharge mode collects the voltage of each battery several times at a certain interval during a discharge or load test. Users can calculate the time a battery takes to drop to the cut-off voltage and use this time to determine the capacity loss of this battery. • Ripple Voltage Test – Measures the unwanted residual ac component of the rectified voltage in dc charging and inverter circuits. Allows users to test ac components in dc charging circuits and find one of the root c ...
