SLA Battery Tester GOLD-IBT Intelligent Battery Tester

GOLD-IBT 12V Intelligent Battery Tester

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

• Simulates a full 20 hour battery discharge test in 6 seconds,without flattening the battery
• Automatically displays DC voltage, temperature and Ah capacity available in a battery, allowing the user to know exactly how long a battery will power their equipment. The GOLD-IBT will also warn if voltage is too high or too low.
• Free from complicated settings and switches. Simply connect the GOLD-IBT to the battery terminals and wait 6 seconds for the results to appear on the LCD display.
• Tests 12V SLA and car batteries from 1.2Ah to 200Ah
• Pocket sized, ideal for field work, accurate and easy to use

How It Works
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.

GOLD-IBT Operating Manual

Operation

1. Connect
Connect the GOLD-IBT clips to the battery terminals. It is essential to have a tight connection on clean battery terminals. Loose, high resistance connections will produce low, erratic Ah readings.

2. Result
Wait 6 seconds for the results to appear on the LCD display. Results will show the battery’s DC voltage, temperature and most importantly, the Ah capacity. It will also display if the DC voltage is too high or low.

3. Compare
When the rated Ah capacity falls below 65%, it’s time to either recharge or replace the battery. As soon as the Ah reading is displayed, look at the chart on the side of the GOLD-IBT. This chart shows the most common battery sizes and at what Ah capacity they should be recharged or replaced.

Achievements
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 ADI.
