METRACELL BT PRO
Portable Battery Tester for Storage Batteries
Applications
Periodic testing and well-organized maintenance are necessary in
order to assure the availability of stationary battery systems. The
METRACELL BT PRO is a universal, multifunctional test instru-
ment for user-friendly, professional maintenance of these battery
systems. It can be used to determine the current status of the
battery and pinpoint concealed battery defects. The battery tester
is used primarily for testing stationary battery systems.
Features
• Simple, intuitive menu prompting
• Easy-to-understand measured value display
• PC-aided measured value analysis
• Illuminated display
• Mobile, safe use on-site
• Compact design and easy to carry
• Unrestricted motion with attachment to carrying strap,
fastening clip or magnet
• Kelvin connection (4-wire measurement) suppresses influence on the
measurement results due to cable and contact resistance
• Battery operation – furnished with 4 rechargeable NiMH bat-
teries as standard equipment
Meanings of Abbreviations
Symbol Meaning
Rel
Electrical Resistance
Resistance is a measure of strictly electrical losses. These losses occur at,
for example, plate straps, plate grids and electrolytes. The battery delivers
rapidly changing currents via this resistance, for example for switched-
mode DC/DC converters.
Rct
Charge Transfer Resistance
The battery can be charged or discharged via this resistance. This makes it
possible to identify battery blocks which are operating at a loss during
trickle charging.
Together, these two values (Rct and Rel) constitute the battery’s internal re-
sistance. The battery delivers current which is as constant as possible over
a lengthy period of time via this internal resistance.
• Internal resistance measurement for storage batteries

electrochemical (charge-transfer) resistance (Rct)
• Measurement of block voltages
• Measurement of total voltage up to 600 V
• Measurement of charging and discharging current
• Measurement of block temperatures
• Ascertainment of acid densities
• Transfer of complete battery databases
• Storage of up to 300,000 data records
• Integrated Bluetooth interface
• Battery identification by means of transponders
• Direct connection of a DMA35 density meter from Anton Paar
• Battery operation for up to 10 hours
