Motive Power Battery Discharge and Charge Cycle Testing with Individual Cell Monitoring Capabilities

The SBS-200CT is a discharge and charge cycler for battery testing and battery rejuvenation. The voltage range of 24–96 Vdc covers many types of traction batteries including: stationary, forklifts, automobile, golf cart, train, wheel chair, etc. When equipped with any industrial charger (compatible with most models, sold separately), the SBS-200CT provides an unmanned discharge and charge cycling solution to help increase battery capacity and prevent scrapping and warrantying those batteries. The unit includes wireless modules to collect and record individual cell readings during discharge/charge and software to generate detailed reports.

Battery Discharger / Capacity Tester for 20–60 Vdc Battery Systems

The SBS-4815CT is a fully programmable and portable constant current load bank including individual cell monitoring wireless modules with detailed data acquisition, display and reporting capabilities.

Built-in memory continuously records discharge data including: overall system voltage, current and individual cell voltages (when modules are installed).

Parallel Operation

Alone the SBS-4815CT has a 0–150 Amp constant current draw range. However it is possible to parallel additional load banks of the same voltage range with the SBS-4815CT to increase current draw.

With the optional P/N 8400-600A DC clamp the user can discharge up to 750 Amps and the SBS-4815CT will monitor the total DC current being drawn by up to three load banks in parallel.

Constant Current DC Load Bank 125 Vdc 0–100 Amp

The only way to know if your stationary batteries will perform to specification is to test them regularly.

NERC standard PRC-005-2 requires that vented lead acid and nickel cadmium (NiCd) systems be discharge tested every six (6) years and valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries every three (3) years. IEEE recommends load testing stationary flooded/vented lead acid and NiCd stationary batteries every five (5 )years and VRLA batteries every 12–18 months.

The SBS-1110S constant current load banks are an easy and affordable way to perform accurate IEEE450 (Vented Lead-Acid), IEEE1106 (Ni-Cad) and IEEE1188 (VRLA) load tests.

These units are quick and easy to set up. They display the voltage, current and Ah removed from the string during the test. Since this is a constant current load bank, the user also does not have to adjust the current during the test.

These load banks come standard with multiple adjustable stop points and built-in protection to ensure that the batteries are never damaged due to over-discharge.

Built-in Protection

• Audible alarm
• Warning on LCD screen
• High temperature shutdown
• High voltage shutdown
• Over load protection

Features

• Many unit options with wide voltage and current range
• Automatically discharges batteries unmanned without danger of over-discharging
• Continuously holds the current set throughout the test
• LCD screen displays real time voltage, discharge current and capacity/Ah removed
• Test parameters are adjustable during test without stopping test
  • End system voltage
  • Discharge time
  • Discharge capacity (Ah)
• Units can be slaved with the SBS-8400 and/or other load banks to increase amp draw

3 adjustable stop points

• End system voltage
• Discharge time
• Discharge capacity (Ah)
