Hioki BT3563-01 Battery HiTester, with GP-IB

Product Highlights

The Hioki Battery HiTester performs fully automated production line testing of small cells for power motors or small battery. It is especially suitable for high-performance battery cell applications in electric bikes and power tools.

The Battery HiTester can inspect the quality of completed cells, modules, and packs on production lines. Users can measure internal resistance (AC-IR) and open-circuit voltage (OCV) to check battery quality. Cells produced at the cell production factory are shipped to the module production factory after undergoing a shipping inspection. Since factors such as vibrations during shipment and even the passage of time can cause defects, batteries undergo an acceptance inspection before being assembled into modules and packs.

The Battery HiTester has dramatically improved tolerances for line resistance compared to previous models. This improvement makes it easy to build test systems with large numbers of channels using relays. Additionally, a longer maintenance cycle for systems in use means fewer maintenance man-hours. Finally, its capability to handle thinner cables makes it easier to route cables.

Operators can use a switch mainframe to increase the number of measurement channels.

Batteries can become charged on production lines, for example, when being transported on a conveyor belt. When probes are placed in contact with such batteries, the resulting application of static electricity can then damage the instrument.

The is equipped with a LAN interface as standard equipment, making it easy for the instrument to interoperate with a PLC-based control system. The ability to use readily accessible LAN cables helps lower costs during system development and maintenance. Furthermore, a design with strong noise and static electricity resistance helps avoid system problems.

The Battery HiTester is a highly advanced battery tester that is best suited for shipping and acceptance inspections of cells and battery packs. It simultaneously measures internal resistance and the battery's open-circuit voltage (OCV). Since the AC-IR measurement method is used, the measurement time is shortened. In addition, highly repeatable results are attained with this method. All of this combines for the best choice in battery testers.
