The BITE 2 Battery Impedance
Test Equipment determines the condition of lead- acid and
nickel-cadmium cells up to 7000Ah. An advanced feature set has been
developed that includes Pass/Warning/Fail calculations based on a
user-entered baseline value, advanced printing funtions and more. The
BITE 2 and its accessories fit into a sturdy canvas case with a
shoulder strap.
The instrument works by
applying a test current across the battery string while on-line, then
measuring the total current and the voltage drop of each cell / jar.
It then calculates the impedance. It also measures DC voltage and
interconnection resistance to help determine the overall condition of
the entire battery string's electrical path from terminal plate to
terminal plate.
The BITE 2 receiver stores
the readings in its internal memory.
Using this instrument
requires no battery discharge, nor does it stress the battery in any
way compared to other techniques.

battery discharge
- Receiver has a
RS-232 connector for downloading stored data to a personal
computer
- Reduced test
time: less than 30 seconds for each cell
- Measures
impedance and DC voltage values for all lead-acid and
nickel-cadmium cells up to 7000Ah
- Stores more
than 2000 sets of readings in up to 300 tests

Applications
The BITE 2 allows
the operator to determine maintenance needs such as:
- Cell
replacement criteria based on impedance trends
- Jumpering out a
cell or two
- Clean and / or
retorque intercell connectors
- Shorten the
maintenance level, etc.
Typical
installations that can be tested using the BITE 2
include:
- Electrical
power generation plants
- Substations:
utility, railroad, industrial
- Telecommunications facilities: CO, Wireline, Wireless, MTSO
- UPS systems
- Railroad:
Signals and Communications, substation
- Aircraft power
supplies
- Marine,
military
