It is vital for the accuracy of the battery tester, that the test leads and clips are maintained in perfect condition. ACT battery testers are calibrated to the specific test lead set. Damage as well as wear and tear will have a considerable effect on the readings obtained. We recommend replacing the test leads as soon as any inconsistent readings are given. Soldering is required for Red/Gold/Chrome IBT models.
The Problem
Battery manufacturers recommend to recharge or replace a battery when its rated Ampere hour (Ah) capacity falls below 65%. But how can this be established when a multimeter only measures the battery voltage?
The Solution
The award winning GOLD-IBT Intelligent Battery Tester provides a fast, accurate solution to measuring Ah capacity available in 12V SLA and car batteries in seconds.
Award-winning Features
The GOLD-IBT measures Ampere-hour (Ah) capacity available in the battery in a similar way that a car fuel gauge measures volume of fuel in your tank. The Ah capacity available is dependent on battery temperature and condition of charge. The Ah capacity displayed on the GOLD-IBT is calculated by simulating a full 20 hour (C20 battery discharge) test in 6 seconds. The patented neural technology employed by the GOLD-IBT achieves this by applying a pulsed frequency load test which accurately measures Ah capacity available.
Thanks to its innovative design, the GOLD-IBT Intelligent Battery Tester has received two major awards. Firstly, the ‘Security Industry Award' presented in New York followed by the IFSEC sponsored ‘BSIA' award.
Recently the GOLD-IBT became UL listed. The UL Mark is the most widely recognised and accepted evidence of a product's compliance with US and Canadian safety requirements. All ACT products including the GOLD-IBT Intelligent Battery Tester are currently available through Acorn Fire & Security.
