Capacity Testing

We utilize an Albér  BCT-2000, Battery Capacity Test System.
The best-proven method for determining whether a battery will perform is to test it under load conditions. Proper load testing is the only
way to determine where the battery resides on its expected life curve. The Albér BCT-2000 capacity test system will test any battery in
service today.

Load testing is essential for any storage battery system that protects equipment or a critical service. Because the battery is almost always
the least reliable component, load testing with the BCT-2000 should be done on a regular basis to ensure reliability.

The BCT performs battery load tests using load banks or, in some cases, the actual system load. The BCT-2000 can be programmed to apply a constant current or constant power load on any battery string up to 600VDC. During a load test, the system records overall voltage, load current, and up to 256 cell voltages. Programmable alarm levels warn of low voltages and can automatically pause testing before any cell reaches reversal or an unsafe state.
